How to Convert Atmospheres to Pounds per Square Foot
To convert atmospheres to pounds per square foot, multiply the pressure by the following conversion ratio: 2,116.218862 pounds per square foot/atmosphere.
Since one atmosphere is equal to 2,116.218862 pounds per square foot, you can use this simple formula to convert:
pounds per square foot = atmospheres × 2,116.218862
The pressure in pounds per square foot is equal to the pressure in atmospheres multiplied by 2,116.218862.
For example, here's how to convert 5 atmospheres to pounds per square foot using the formula above.
pounds per square foot = (5 atm × 2,116.218862) = 10,581.094311 psf
Atmospheres and pounds per square foot are both units used to measure pressure. Keep reading to learn more about each unit.
What Is an Atmosphere?
The atmosphere is a reference measure of pressure equal to 101,325 pascals or 1,013,250 dynes. The atmosphere was originally defined as the pressure of 760 millimeters of mercury at standard gravity at 0 °C, but was later redefined in 1954 to be equal to 1,013,250 dynes.
Atmospheres can be abbreviated as atm; for example, 1 atmosphere can be written as 1 atm.

What Are Pounds per Square Foot?
One pound per square foot is the pressure of equal to one pound-force per square foot.
The pound per square foot is a US customary and imperial unit of pressure. Pounds per square foot can be abbreviated as psf; for example, 1 pound per square foot can be written as 1 psf.
PSF can be expressed using the formula:
1 psf = 1 lbf / ft2
Pressure in pounds per square foot are equal to the pound-force divided by the area in square feet.
