Please provide values below to convert pound-force per square foot [psf] to kilopascal [kPa], or change ↔.
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!
kilopascal [kPa]
Definition: A derived unit of pressure, equal to one thousand pascals (1 kPa = 1000 Pa).
Historyandorigin: The kilopascal is commonly used for everyday pressure measurements, especially in meteorology and engineering.
CurrentUse: Used for measuring atmospheric pressure, tire pressure, and other common pressure-related applications.
funfact: A standard atmospheric pressure at sea level is approximately 101.325 kPa!
