Converting from Kilonewton per Square Meter (kN/m²) to Pound Per Square Foot (psf)

What is Kilonewton per Square Meter (kN/m²)

Kilonewton per square meter (kN/m²) is a unit of pressure in the metric system. It measures the amount of force exerted on a surface per unit area in newtons per square meter.

What is Pound Per Square Foot (psf)

Pound per square foot (psf) is a unit of pressure commonly used in the imperial system. It measures the force exerted on a surface per unit area in pounds per square foot.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion formulas between kN/m² and psf are as follows:

• To convert kN/m² to psf, multiply the pressure value by 20.88543: psf=kN/m²×20.88543
• To convert psf to kN/m², multiply the pressure value by 0.04788026: kN/m²=psf×0.04788026

Examples

1. Convert 12 kN/m² to psf psf=12×20.88543=250.6252
2. Convert 14 psf to kN/m² kN/m²=14×0.04788026=0.6703236
3. Convert 10 kN/m² to psf psf=10×20.88543=208.8543
4. Convert 14 kN/m² to psf psf=14×20.88543=292.3961
