What are Kilopascal and Pound-force per square foot

Definition of Kilopascal

A kilopascal (kPa) is a unit of pressure in the International System of Units (SI). It is equivalent to one thousand pascals or one kilonewton per square meter. This unit is commonly used in engineering and physics to measure pressure or stress in materials, atmospheric pressure, and other applications where a smaller unit like pascal would result in large numbers.

Definition of Pound-force per square foot

Pound-force per square foot (psf) is a unit of pressure in the Imperial and US customary systems of measurement. It measures the force in pounds exerted on one square foot of area. This unit is often used in construction, engineering, and aviation to describe loads or stresses on surfaces, such as in flooring, roofing, or wing surfaces.
