pound-force per square foot to megapascal
Please provide values below to convert pound-force per square foot [psf] to megapascal [MPa], 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!
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!
