  • Alternative Method – Division: If you prefer not to multiply, you can achieve the same conversion by dividing the pound force per square foot value by 0.020885434233. This alternative method also gives you the correct pressure in kg-force per square cms.
  • Illustration of Division:
  • Kg-force per square cm = psf ÷ 0.020885434233

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 Kg-force per square cm?

Kilogram-force per square centimeter (symbol: kgf/cm²) is a unit of pressure defined as the pressure exerted by one kilogram-force acting on an area of one square centimeter. One kilogram-force per square centimeter is exactly equal to 98,066.5 pascals, 0.980665 bar, or 14.2233 pounds per square inch (psi). The unit has been widely used in hydraulic systems, compressors, pressure vessels, pumps, and industrial equipment. Although the pascal is now the international SI unit of pressure, kilogram-force per square centimeter remains common in older engineering specifications, pressure gauges, and technical manuals. It is also closely related to the technical atmosphere, which is defined using the same pressure value of 1 kgf/cm².
