Discover the simplicity of converting pressure units from psi to psf with our intuitive Pound-force square Inch to Pound-force square Foot Converter, designed by Newtum to enhance your calculation experience.
An inch is a unit of length commonly used in the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada. It is defined as 1/12 of a foot or 1/36 of a yard. Historically, an inch was also considered the equivalent of the width of a person's thumb. In modern times, it has a standardized length of exactly 25.4 millimeters.
Definition of FootA foot, comprising 12 inches, is a unit of length in the imperial and US customary systems of measurement. It is used primarily in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. The foot as a measure has been used since antiquity, with its length varying through time and place. Today, it is defined as exactly 0.3048 meters.
| Pound-force square Inch (psi) | Pound-force square Foot (psf) |
|---|---|
| 1 psi | 144 psf |
| 2 psi | 288 psf |
| 3 psi | 432 psf |
| 4 psi | 576 psf |
| 5 psi | 720 psf |
| 6 psi | 864 psf |
| 7 psi | 1008 psf |
| 8 psi | 1152 psf |
| 9 psi | 1296 psf |
| 10 psi | 1440 psf |
Example 1:
Convert 1 psi to psf:
1 psi = 1 × 144 psf = 144 psf
Example 2:
Convert 2.5 psi to psf:
2.5 psi = 2.5 × 144 psf = 360 psf
The concept of pressure, measured in pounds per square inch (psi) and pounds per square foot (psf), has been fundamental in engineering and physics. The need for conversion between these units arose with the varied application in different fields, leading to the development of converters to simplify the process.
