megapascal to pound-force per square foot
Please provide values below to convert megapascal [MPa] to pound-force per square foot [psf], or change ↔.
megapascal [MPa]
Definition: A unit of pressure, equal to one million pascals (1 MPa = 1,000,000 Pa).
Historyandorigin: The megapascal is frequently used in high-pressure industries like engineering and material science.
CurrentUse: Commonly used in the testing of materials, particularly in the strength of metals and other structural components.
funfact: The strength of steel is often measured in megapascals!
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 megapascal to pound-force per square foot
1 megapascal [MPa] = 0.0000478803 pound-force per square foot [psf]
1 pound-force per square foot [psf] = 20885.434233 megapascal [MPa]
we use cross multiplication method
megapascal [MPa] → pound-force per square foot [psf]
1 → 0.0000478803
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*0.0000478803=1*x
by simplifying
x=0.0000718204
