How to Convert Hectopascals to Pounds per Square Foot
To convert a measurement in hectopascals to a measurement in pounds per square foot, multiply the pressure by the following conversion ratio: 2.088546 pounds per square foot/hectopascal.
Since one hectopascal is equal to 2.088546 pounds per square foot, you can use this simple formula to convert:
pounds per square foot = hectopascals × 2.088546
The pressure in pounds per square foot is equal to the pressure in hectopascals multiplied by 2.088546.
For example, here's how to convert 5 hectopascals to pounds per square foot using the formula above.
pounds per square foot = (5 hPa × 2.088546) = 10.442728 psf
Hectopascals and pounds per square foot are both units used to measure pressure. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
What Is a Hectopascal?
The hectopascal is equal to 100 pascals, which are defined as the pressure of one newton per square meter. The hectopascal is the internationally adopted unit used to measure atmospheric pressure.
The hectopascal is a multiple of the pascal, which is the SI derived unit for pressure. In the metric system, "hecto" is the prefix for 102. Hectopascals can be abbreviated as hPa; for example, 1 hectopascal can be written as 1 hPa.

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.
