gigapascal to pound-force per square foot
Please provide values below to convert gigapascal [GPa] to pound-force per square foot [psf], or change ↔.
gigapascal [GPa]
Definition: A unit of pressure, equal to one billion pascals (1 GPa = 1,000,000,000 Pa).
Historyandorigin: The gigapascal is used for extremely high-pressure applications, typically in material science and deep geological studies.
CurrentUse: Used in scientific research and engineering for measuring high-pressure environments, such as those found in deep-sea exploration or the manufacturing of advanced materials.
funfact: Diamonds have a hardness that can be measured in gigapascals!
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 gigapascal to pound-force per square foot
1 gigapascal [GPa] = 4.788025898E-8 pound-force per square foot [psf]
1 pound-force per square foot [psf] = 20885434.233 gigapascal [GPa]
we use cross multiplication method
gigapascal [GPa] → pound-force per square foot [psf]
1 → 4.788025898E-8
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*4.788025898E-8=1*x
by simplifying
x=7.182038847E-8
