Converting from Newton per Square Meter (N/m²) to Pound Per Square Inch (psi)

What is Newton per Square Meter (N/m²)

Newton per Square Meter (N/m²) is the unit of pressure in the International System of Units (SI). It measures the force per unit area applied in a perpendicular direction to a surface.

What is Pound Per Square Inch (psi)

Pound per Square Inch (psi) is a unit of pressure commonly used in the United States and the United Kingdom. It is the pressure resulting from a force of one pound-force applied to an area of one square inch.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion formulas between N/m² and psi are as follows:

Pressure in psi=Pressure in N/m²×0.0001450377

Pressure in N/m²=Pressure in psi×6894.757

Examples

• 14 N/m² is equal to 0.002030528 psi
• 3 psi is equal to 20684.27 N/m²
• 11 N/m² is equal to 0.001595415 psi

Performing these conversions allows you to easily switch between the two units of pressure, whether you are working on engineering calculations or simply need to understand pressure measurements in different contexts.
