A pascal (Pa) is the SI derived unit of pressure, defined as one newton of force applied over one square meter.

Why convert pascal to poundal per square foot?

To translate pressure values between the International System of Units and the foot–pound–second system, often for legacy engineering work or educational contexts.

Is poundal/square foot commonly used?

It is less common today and mainly used in older engineering contexts, some educational settings, and for converting historical data.

What Is This Tool?

This online converter transforms pressure measurements from pascals (Pa), the SI derived unit of pressure, into poundals per square foot, a unit from the foot–pound–second system. It is designed to facilitate conversions between these two units commonly used in engineering, education, and historical data analysis.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the pressure value measured in pascals into the input field.
Select pascal [Pa] as the input unit and poundal/square foot as the output unit.
Click the convert button to get the pressure value in poundal/square foot.

Key Features

Converts pressure from pascals (Pa) to poundal/square foot with a defined conversion factor.
Supports applications in engineering, physics, meteorology, and mechanics education.
Browser-based and easy to use with no installation required.

Examples

10 Pa converts to approximately 6.7197 poundal/square foot.
100 Pa converts to approximately 67.1969 poundal/square foot.

Common Use Cases

Translating standard atmospheric and engineering pressure values from SI into FPS units for legacy projects.
Solving classroom problems involving pressure with poundal and square foot units.
Converting historical pressure measurements in poundal/square foot to pascals for modern analysis.

Tips & Best Practices

Use this tool for converting between SI and FPS units when working with mixed measurement datasets.
Double-check units when analyzing low or high pressures to account for conversion rounding.
Utilize the converter for educational purposes to understand pressure units in different measurement systems.

Limitations

Poundal per square foot is a non-SI unit and is less frequently used in modern applications.
Some rounding occurs due to the fixed conversion factor which might impact extreme pressure values.
Imperial units like poundal/square foot are largely replaced in international scientific communication.
