Please provide values below to convert bar to pound-force per square foot [psf], or change ↔.
bar
Definition: A metric unit of pressure, equal to 100,000 pascals or 100 kilopascals.
Historyandorigin: The bar was introduced as a convenient way to measure pressure in the early 20th century, particularly in meteorology.
CurrentUse: Widely used in meteorology, oceanography, and in the measurement of pressure in natural gas pipelines.
funfact: The bar is close to atmospheric pressure at sea level, but it is not an SI unit!
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!
