pound-force per square foot to pascal
Please provide values below to convert pound-force per square foot [psf] to pascal [Pa], 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!
pascal [Pa]
Definition: The SI unit of pressure, equal to one newton per square meter.
Historyandorigin: Named after Blaise Pascal, the pascal is the standard unit of pressure in the International System of Units (SI), introduced in the 17th century.
CurrentUse: Used globally in scientific, engineering, and industrial applications to measure pressure in gases and liquids.
funfact: The pascal is a very small unit of pressure, so kilopascals (kPa) and megapascals (MPa) are more commonly used in practical applications!

How to Convert pound-force per square foot to pascal
1 pound-force per square foot [psf] = 0.0208854342 pascal [Pa]
1 pascal [Pa] = 47.88025898 pound-force per square foot [psf]
we use cross multiplication method
pound-force per square foot [psf] → pascal [Pa]
1 → 0.0208854342
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*0.0208854342=1*x
by simplifying
x=0.0313281513
