Converting from Pound Per Square Foot (psf) to Kilogram per Square Millimeter (kgf/mm²) in Pressure

What is Pound Per Square Foot (psf)

Pound per square foot (psf) is a unit of pressure, typically used in engineering and construction to measure the amount of force applied over a surface area in pounds per square foot.

What is Kilogram per Square Millimeter (kgf/mm²)

Kilogram per square millimeter (kgf/mm²) is another unit of pressure, commonly used in scientific and industrial applications to quantify pressure in kilograms per square millimeter.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from psf to kgf/mm², use the formula:

kgf/mm²=psf×0.000004882428

To convert from kgf/mm² to psf, use the formula:

psf=kgf/mm²×204816.1

Examples

1. Converting 8 psf to kgf/mm²:

8psf×0.000004882428=0.00003905942kgf/mm²

2. Converting 5 kgf/mm² to psf:

5kgf/mm²×204816.1=1024081psf

3. Converting 9 psf to kgf/mm²:

9psf×0.000004882428=0.00004394185kgf/mm²

Conclusion

Use these conversion formulas when you need to switch between pound per square foot (psf) and kilogram per square millimeter (kgf/mm²) in pressure calculations. By mastering these conversions, you can ensure accuracy in your pressure-related tasks.
