What are Poundal and Decipascal

A poundal is a unit of force in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system of units, part of the British Imperial System. It is defined as the force necessary to accelerate a one-pound mass to one foot per second squared. One poundal equals to about 0.1382 newtons in the International System of Units (SI).

A decipascal is a subunit of the pascal, which is the SI unit for pressure. It is equivalent to one-tenth of a pascal. This measure is often used in fields where fine gradations of pressure are necessary to observe, such as in meteorology or material science, to precisely gauge low-pressure differences.

History of Poundal and Decipascal

The Poundal square Foot to Decipascal Converter stems from the need to bridge the gap between the Imperial (FPS) and Metric (SI) units of pressure. This tool reflects the evolution of measurement systems, offering a convenient way to convert from the traditional poundal per square foot to the widely adopted decipascal.
