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 Technical Atmosphere?
Technical atmosphere (symbol: at) is a unit of pressure defined as the pressure exerted by one kilogram-force per square centimeter. One technical atmosphere is exactly equal to 98,066.5 pascals, 0.980665 bar, or 0.967841 standard atmosphere (atm). The technical atmosphere was widely used in engineering, hydraulics, and industrial pressure measurements, particularly in Europe, before SI units became the international standard. It is still encountered in older engineering documents and is commonly converted to pascals, bar, and standard atmospheres when interpreting historical specifications and technical data.
