What are Newton and Pound-force

A Newton, symbolized as 'N', is the SI unit of force. It's defined as the force necessary to provide a mass of one kilogram with an acceleration of one meter per second squared. This derives from Isaac Newton's second law of motion, where force equals mass times acceleration (F=ma). One Newton is roughly equivalent to the force of gravity on a small apple.

Pound-force, represented as 'lbf', is a unit of force in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system of units, commonly used in the United States. It's defined as the force exerted by gravity on a pound-mass object. One pound-force is the gravitational force experienced by a one-pound mass at the Earth's surface, approximately 4.4482216 newtons.

History of Newton and Pound-force

The N/cm² to psi converter is rooted in the need to bridge the gap between metric and imperial units of pressure. Its history reflects the globalization of industries where both units are prevalent, necessitating a reliable tool for engineers, scientists, and professionals to convert pressure values for design, testing, and compliance purposes.
