Discover the ease of converting microbars to pound-force per square foot with Newtum's intuitive conversion tool. Dive into seamless µbar to psf conversions that cater to your precision needs.
A microbar, symbolized as µbar, is a metric unit of pressure that is equivalent to one millionth of a bar. The bar itself is a non-SI unit of pressure, roughly equal to the atmospheric pressure on Earth at sea level. Microbar is used in various scientific and meteorological applications to express very small pressure differences, where precision is essential.
Definition of Pound-force square FootThe pound-force per square foot (psf) is a unit of pressure where one psf equals the pressure resulting from a one-pound force applied uniformly over an area of one square foot. This unit is part of the British Gravitational System, commonly used in engineering and construction in the United States for measuring loads or stresses on surfaces.
Microbar (µbar) | Pound-force per square foot (psf) |
---|---|
1 µbar | 0.020885 psf |
10 µbar | 0.20885 psf |
50 µbar | 1.04425 psf |
100 µbar | 2.0885 psf |
250 µbar | 5.22125 psf |
500 µbar | 10.4425 psf |
1000 µbar | 20.885 psf |
5000 µbar | 104.425 psf |
10000 µbar | 208.85 psf |
50000 µbar | 1044.25 psf |
1 µbar = 0.020885 psf
100 µbar = 2.0885 psf
Example 1:
Convert 250 µbar to psf:
250 µbar = 250 × 0.020885 psf = 5.22125 psf
Example 2:
Convert 1000 µbar to psf:
1000 µbar = 1000 × 0.020885 psf = 20.885 psf
