Convert short ton force per square foot to pascal
Short Ton-Force per Square Foot
Short ton-force per square foot is a unit of pressure equal to the force exerted by 2,000 pounds-force distributed over one square foot, approximately 95,760 pascals. It is used in US geotechnical and structural engineering to express soil bearing pressures and foundation loads. The unit is part of the US customary force system based on the short ton of 2,000 lb.
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.
