Discover the ease of converting pressure units from Poundal per square foot to Standard Atmosphere with our precise pdl/ft² to atm converter, designed to simplify your calculations.
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 by one foot per second squared. Symbolized as 'pdl', it provides a measure of force distinct from the more commonly known pound-force (lbf) used in the imperial system.
Definition of AtmosphereAn atmosphere (atm) is a unit of pressure defined as being precisely equal to the average atmospheric pressure at sea level on Earth. It is equivalent to 101,325 pascals, or 760 millimeters of mercury (mmHg). The standard atmosphere is utilized as a reference pressure in various applications and serves as a convenient benchmark for gauging different pressure levels.
| Poundal per square foot (pdl/ft²) | Standard Atmosphere (atm) |
|---|---|
| 1 pdl/ft² | 0.00000208854 atm |
| 10 pdl/ft² | 0.0000208854 atm |
| 50 pdl/ft² | 0.000104427 atm |
| 100 pdl/ft² | 0.000208854 atm |
| 500 pdl/ft² | 0.00104427 atm |
| 1000 pdl/ft² | 0.00208854 atm |
| 5000 pdl/ft² | 0.0104427 atm |
| 10000 pdl/ft² | 0.0208854 atm |
| 50000 pdl/ft² | 0.104427 atm |
| 100000 pdl/ft² | 0.208854 atm |
1 pdl/ft² = 0.00000208854 atm
1 atm = 478802.59 pdl/ft²
Example 1:
convert 100 pdl/ft² to atm:
100 pdl/ft² = 100 × 0.00000208854 atm = 0.000208854 atm
Example 2:
convert 250 pdl/ft² to atm:
250 pdl/ft² = 250 × 0.00000208854 atm = 0.000522135 atm
The concept of converting between Poundal per square foot and Standard Atmosphere was born from the need to have a common language in physics and engineering for comparing forces and pressures in different measurement systems.
