Converting from Pound Per Square Foot (psf) to Barye (Ba) in Pressure

What is Pound per Square Foot (psf)

Pound per Square Foot (psf) is a unit of pressure often used in engineering and construction. It measures the pressure exerted by the weight of one pound-force acting on an area of one square foot.

What is Barye (Ba)

Barye (Ba) is the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) unit of pressure. It represents the pressure exerted by a force of one dyne acting on an area of one square centimeter.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion formulas between Pound per Square Foot and Barye are as follows:

• To convert from psf to Ba: Pressure in Ba=Pressure in psf×478.8026
• To convert from Ba to psf: Pressure in psf=Pressure in Ba×0.002088543

Examples

1. Converting 5 psf to Ba:

5psf=5×478.8026=2394.013Ba 2. Converting 16 Ba to psf:

16Ba=16×0.002088543=0.03341669psf 3. Converting 4 psf to Ba:

4psf=4×478.8026=1915.21Ba

You can use these conversion formulas to easily switch between Pound per Square Foot and Barye values in pressure measurements.
