atmosphere to pound-force per square foot
Please provide values below to convert atmosphere [atm] to pound-force per square foot [psf], or change ↔.
atmosphere [atm]
Definition: A unit of pressure defined as 101,325 pascals, approximately the atmospheric pressure at sea level.
Historyandorigin: The atmosphere was originally defined as the pressure exerted by the Earth's atmosphere at sea level, based on early barometric measurements.
CurrentUse: Used in meteorology, physics, and engineering to express pressure relative to Earth's atmosphere.
funfact: The term 'atmosphere' is still widely used in weather reports, such as 'high-pressure systems' or 'low-pressure systems'!
pound-force per square foot [psf]
Definition: A unit of pressure, equal to the pressure produced by one pound-force applied to an area of one square foot.
Historyandorigin: Used in the imperial system for larger-scale pressure measurements, especially in construction and civil engineering.
CurrentUse: Used to measure pressure on larger surfaces, such as the load on roofs or floors in buildings.
funfact: In construction, psf is used to measure the pressure exerted on buildings from snow, wind, and other environmental factors!

How to Convert atmosphere to pound-force per square foot
1 atmosphere [atm] = 0.0004725414 pound-force per square foot [psf]
1 pound-force per square foot [psf] = 2116.2166237 atmosphere [atm]
we use cross multiplication method
atmosphere [atm] → pound-force per square foot [psf]
1 → 0.0004725414
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*0.0004725414=1*x
by simplifying
x=0.0007088121
