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 Meter of Head?
The meter of head (symbol: mH₂O or m head) is a non-SI unit of pressure that represents the pressure generated by a one-meter column of water under standard gravity. It is widely used in hydraulics, water supply systems, pumps, irrigation, and fluid engineering to describe pressure and pump performance. Although the pascal is the SI unit of pressure, the meter of head remains popular because it directly relates pressure to water height. It is based on the principles of hydraulic head.
One meter of head is equal to 9,806.65 pascals, 9.80665 kilopascals, 0.0980665 bar, 1.42233 pounds per square inch, and 3.28084 feet of water. The meter of head is commonly used to specify pump capacity and water system pressure.
