Attopascal To Poundal square Foot Converter

Seamlessly Convert Pressure Units: aPa to pdl/ft²

Discover the ease of converting attopascals to poundals per square foot with our efficient aPa to pdl/ft² tool, designed to simplify your calculations.

What are Attopascal and Poundal square Foot

An attopascal (aPa) is a unit of pressure equivalent to 10^-18 pascals. Pascals are the SI units for pressure, named after Blaise Pascal, which measure the force per unit area applied in a direction perpendicular to the surface of an object.

A poundal per square foot (pdl/ft²) is a unit of pressure in the Foot-Pound-Second (FPS) system. It represents the pressure exerted by one poundal, a unit of force, acting on an area of one square foot.

History of Attopascal and Poundal square Foot

The attopascal to poundal square foot converter originated from the need to bridge the gap between the metric system and the FPS system. This converter allows for precise and quick conversions between these two units of pressure.
