Pounds per square inch (psi) and pounds force (lbf) are two units of pressure commonly used in various fields, including engineering, construction, and fluid mechanics. Converting between these units is crucial for accurate calculations and data analysis.
1 pound per square inch (psi) is defined as the force of 1 pound acting on a surface area of 1 square inch. Similarly, 1 pound force (lbf) is the force exerted by a weight of 1 pound acting on an object.
To convert pounds force to psi, divide the force in pounds by the area in square inches.
PSI = Force (lbf) / Area (in²)
For example, to convert 100 pounds force to psi acting on a surface area of 20 square inches:
PSI = 100 lbf / 20 in²
PSI = 5 psi
