Discover the ease of converting kilopascals to poundals per square foot with our precise kPa to pdl/ft² tool, designed by Newtum to offer accurate results instantly.
The kilopascal (kPa) is a unit of pressure defined as one thousand pascals. It serves as a measurement of force applied per unit area, where one Pascal equates to the force of one newton exerted over an area of one square meter. The kilopascal is commonly used in science and engineering to measure small to moderate pressure values, such as atmospheric pressure.
Definition of PoundalA poundal is a unit of force in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, primarily used in some engineering fields in the United States. One poundal is defined as the force necessary to accelerate a one-pound mass at a rate of one foot per second squared. This unit is not widely used, with the newton being the preferred unit of force in the International System of Units (SI).

1 kPa = 20.88543 pdl/ft²
1 pdl/ft² = 0.04788026 kPa
Example 1:
convert 10 kPa to pdl/ft²:
10 kPa = 10 × 20.88543 pdl/ft² = 208.8543 pdl/ft²
Example 2:
convert 50 kPa to pdl/ft²:
50 kPa = 50 × 20.88543 pdl/ft² = 1044.2715 pdl/ft²
The Kilopascal to Poundal square Foot Converter originates from the need to bridge the gap between different measurement systems. With the development of international trade and science, tools that could accurately convert units like kPa, used in the metric system, to pdl/ft², used in the FPS system, became essential. This converter is a testament to engineering innovation over the years.
Explore the practical applications of the kPa to pdl/ft² converter in various fields and industries, facilitating smooth unit conversions.
Example 1:
To convert 30 kPa to pdl/ft²:
