Converting from Kilopascal (kPa) to Pound Per Square Foot (psf)

What is Kilopascal (kPa)

Kilopascal (kPa) is a metric unit of pressure commonly used in the engineering and scientific fields. It is equal to one thousand pascals, and is often used to measure pressure in gas laws calculations.

What is Pound Per Square Foot (psf)

Pound per square foot (psf) is an imperial unit of pressure commonly used in construction and building materials. It measures the force applied on a surface per square foot area.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion between kilopascal (kPa) and pound per square foot (psf) can be done using the following formulas:

kPa to psf: Pressure in psf=Pressure in kPa×20.88543

psf to kPa: Pressure in kPa=Pressure in psf×0.04788026

Examples

• To convert 12 kPa to psf:

12 kPa×20.88543=250.6252 psf

• To convert 5 psf to kPa:

5 psf×0.04788026=0.2394013 kPa

• To convert 8 kPa to psf:

8 kPa×20.88543=167.0835 psf

• To convert 12 psf to kPa:

12 psf×0.04788026=0.5745631 kPa
