What are Poundal and Picopascal

A poundal is a unit of force within the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, also known as the British Engineering System. It is defined as the force needed to accelerate a one-pound mass to one foot per second squared. The poundal is derived from the basic FPS units and is not part of the International System of Units (SI).

The picopascal is a measure of pressure in the metric system, signifying one trillionth of a pascal. It is used to describe extremely small pressure values in scientific contexts. The pascal is the SI derived unit of pressure, defined as one newton per square meter, making the picopascal a submultiple of this standard.

History of Poundal and Picopascal

The Poundal square Foot to Picopascal Converter is rooted in the evolution of the FPS system and the need for conversion to the SI unit. This tool reflects the integration of traditional and modern systems, aiding professionals in various fields to translate measurements into universally accepted units.
