How to Convert Pounds per Square Foot to Pascals
To convert a measurement in pounds per square foot to a measurement in pascals, multiply the pressure by the following conversion ratio: 47.880208 pascals/pound per square foot.
Since one pound per square foot is equal to 47.880208 pascals, you can use this simple formula to convert:
pascals = pounds per square foot × 47.880208
The pressure in pascals is equal to the pressure in pounds per square foot multiplied by 47.880208.
For example, here's how to convert 5 pounds per square foot to pascals using the formula above.
pascals = (5 psf × 47.880208) = 239.401042 Pa
Pounds per square foot and pascals are both units used to measure pressure. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
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.

What Is a Pascal?
The pascal is defined as the pressure of one newton per square meter.
The pascal is the SI derived unit for pressure in the metric system. Pascals can be abbreviated as Pa; for example, 1 pascal can be written as 1 Pa.
Pascals can be expressed using the formula:
1 Pa = 1 N / m2
Pressure in pascals is equal to the force in newtons divided by the area in square meters.
