Illustration of Division:
Gram per Square Centimetre = psf ÷ 2.048161436

What is Pressure?

Pressure is the force applied perpendicular to a surface per unit area: P = F / A. The SI unit is the pascal (Pa), equal to one newton per square metre (1 Pa = 1 N/m²). Practical applications use larger units: the bar (1 bar = 100,000 Pa, close to standard atmospheric pressure), atmosphere (atm) (1 atm = 101,325 Pa), and psi (pounds per square inch, used in the US for tire and gas pressures). Blood pressure is measured in mmHg (millimetres of mercury), also called torr.

What is Pound Force Per Square Foot?

The pound force per square foot (symbol: psf) is a non-SI unit of pressure that represents the pressure exerted by one pound-force distributed over an area of one square foot. It is commonly used in civil engineering, structural design, HVAC systems, and building codes in the United States to specify wind loads, floor loads, and air pressure. The unit is based on the pound per square foot.

One pound force per square foot is equal to 47.8803 pascals, 0.0478803 kilopascals, 0.000478803 bar, 0.00694444 pounds per square inch, and 0.000472555 standard atmosphere. The psf remains a standard unit for structural and environmental load calculations.

What is Gram per Square Centimetre?

The gram per square centimetre (symbol: g/cm²) is a non-SI unit of pressure that represents the force exerted by one gram over an area of one square centimetre under standard gravity. It has been used in physics, engineering, and older technical literature, although SI units such as the pascal are now preferred. It is related to the gravitational metric system described in the gravitational metric system.

One gram per square centimetre is equal to 98.0665 pascals, 0.0980665 kilopascals, 0.000980665 bar, 0.0142233 pounds per square inch, and 0.000967841 standard atmosphere. This unit is mainly encountered in legacy engineering references and specialized calculations.
