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

What is Pound Per Square Foot (psf)

Pound per square foot (psf) is a unit of pressure commonly used in the imperial system. It represents the amount of force in pounds acting on a surface area of one square foot.

What is Kilopascal (kPa)

Kilopascal (kPa) is a metric unit of pressure used in the international system of units (SI). It measures pressure as one newton of force applied over an area of one square meter.
