Pound per Square Foot (psf) to Pounds per Square Inch (psi) Pressure Unit Conversion Calculator

This calculator allows you to easily convert pressure values from Pounds per Square Foot (psf) to Pounds per Square Inch (psi), a commonly used conversion in engineering, construction, and industrial applications requiring precise pressure measurements.

Definition: Pound per Square Foot (psf)

Pound per Square Foot (psf) is a unit of pressure that measures the force exerted per square foot of area. It is often used in fields like civil engineering, construction, and material testing.

Definition: Pounds per Square Inch (psi)

Pounds per Square Inch (psi) is a unit of pressure measuring the force applied over one square inch of area. It is commonly used in mechanical engineering, hydraulics, and pneumatic systems.

Formula for psf to psi Conversion:

Pressure in psi=Pressure in psf÷144

(since there are 144 square inches in a square foot)

How to Convert psf to psi: Example Calculation

Suppose you have a pressure of 288 psf. 

To convert it to psi:

288 psf÷144=2 psi

So, 288 psf is equal to 2 psi.

Quick Reference Conversion Table for psf to psi

Uses of psf to psi Conversion Calculator:

• Construction and Civil Engineering: Useful for converting pressure in structural loads and material stress measurements.
• Mechanical Engineering: Essential for systems where pressure is expressed in both psf and psi.
• Hydraulics and Pneumatics: Helpful in systems where pressures are standardized in psi but measured in psf.
• Industrial Calibration: Handy for process control and calibration tasks where pressure is measured and converted between psf and psi.

This psf to psi conversion calculator is an essential tool for professionals in engineering, construction, and industrial fields requiring accurate pressure conversions.
