Convert poundal per square foot to pascal
Poundal per square foot
The poundal per square foot (pdl/ft²) is a unit of pressure in the foot-pound-second (FPS) absolute system, equal to approximately 1.48816 pascals. The poundal is the FPS unit of force defined as the force needed to accelerate one pound-mass at one foot per second squared. This unit is rarely encountered in modern practice, having been largely superseded by SI units.
Pascal
The pascal (Pa) is the SI derived unit of pressure, defined as one newton per square metre (N/m²). It was adopted by the General Conference on Weights and Measures in 1971 and named after the French mathematician and physicist Blaise Pascal. Standard atmospheric pressure is approximately 101,325 Pa, and it is widely used in science, engineering, and meteorology.
