Converting from Newton per Square Meter (N/m²) to Pound Per Square Foot (psf)

What is Newton per Square Meter (N/m²)

Newton per square meter (N/m²) is a unit of pressure measurement in the International System of Units (SI). It represents the amount of force in newtons that is applied over an area of one square meter.

What is Pound Per Square Foot (psf)

Pound per square foot (psf) is an imperial unit of pressure commonly used in the United States. It is the pressure exerted by one pound force acting on an area of one square foot.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from N/m² to psf, you can use the following formula:

Pressure in psf=Pressure in N/m²×0.02088543

To convert from psf to N/m², you can use the following formula:

Pressure in N/m²=Pressure in psf×47.88026

Examples

1. Convert 12 N/m² to psf:

12N/m²×0.02088543=0.2506252psf

2. Convert 5 psf to N/m²:

5psf×47.88026=239.4013N/m²

3. Convert 13 N/m² to psf:

13N/m²×0.02088543=0.2715106psf

4. Convert 12 psf to N/m²:

12psf×47.88026=574.5631N/m²

Using these conversion formulas, you can easily convert pressure measurements between N/m² and psf.
