Frequently Asked Questions

What does one pound-force per square foot represent?
It represents a force of one pound-force distributed evenly over an area of one square foot, used to measure pressure or surface stress.

Why convert pound-force/square foot to poundal/square foot?
Conversion helps translate pressure values between US customary units and the FPS system for engineering calculations, education, and updating historical data.

Is poundal/square foot widely used today?
No, it is less common in modern engineering but remains relevant for legacy computations and educational contexts.

Key Terminology

Pound-force per square foot
A pressure unit representing one pound-force applied uniformly across one square foot, used in US customary engineering.
Poundal per square foot
A pressure unit in the FPS system representing one poundal of force applied uniformly across one square foot.
Pressure
The amount of force exerted per unit area.
