newton per square meter to pound-force per square foot
Please provide values below to convert newton per square meter [N/m^2] to pound-force per square foot [psf], or change ↔.
newton per square meter [N/m^2]
Definition: A unit of pressure, equivalent to one pascal (1 N/m^2 = 1 Pa).
Historyandorigin: This unit is based on Newton's second law of motion, where force is applied over an area.
CurrentUse: Used in scientific and engineering contexts for precise pressure measurements, particularly in the study of fluids and gases.
funfact: The newton per square meter is another way to express pressure, often interchangeable with pascals!
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!
