Convert pound force per square foot to pascal
Pound-Force per Square Foot
Pound-force per square foot (lbf/ft²), often abbreviated psf, is a unit of pressure equal to approximately 47.88 pascals. It is commonly used in US and British structural engineering to describe wind loads, floor loads, and snow loads on buildings. One psf equals 1/144 psi.
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.
