Pounds Per Square Inch
One pound per square inch is the pressure of equal to one pound-force per square inch.
The pound per square inch is a US customary and imperial unit of pressure. A pound per square inch is sometimes also referred to as a pound-force per square inch. Pounds per square inch can be abbreviated as psi, for example 1 pound per square inch can be written as 1 psi.
PSI can be expressed using the formula:
1 psi = 1 lbfin2
Pressure in pounds per square inch are equal to the pound-force divided by the area in square inches.
Kilograms Per Square Meter
One kilogram per square meter is the pressure of equal to one kilogram-force per square meter.
The kilogram per square meter is a non-SI metric unit for pressure. A kilogram per square meter is sometimes also referred to as a kilogram per square metre or kilogram-force per meter square. Kilograms per square meter can be abbreviated as kgf/m², for example 1 kilogram per square meter can be written as 1 kgf/m².
In formal expressions, the slash, or solidus (/), is used to separate units used to indicate division in an expression.[1]
The unit is deprecated and not permitted for use with SI units.
Kilograms per square meter can be expressed using the formula:
1 kgf/m2 = 1 kgfm2
Pressure in kilograms per square meter are equal to the kilogram-force divided by the area in square meters.
