Convert pound-force / square inch to poundal / square inch

Learn how to convert 1 pound-force / square inch to poundal / square inch step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (\frac{p o u n d - f o r c e}{s q u a r e i n c h}) = x (\frac{p o u n d a l}{s q u a r e i n c h})

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(p a s c a l)

Left side: 1.0 (\frac{p o u n d - f o r c e}{s q u a r e i n c h}) = \frac{4.4482216152605}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 4}} (p a s c a l) = \frac{4.4482216152605}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 4}} (P a)

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{p o u n d a l}{s q u a r e i n c h}) = \frac{1.38254954376}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 3}} (p a s c a l) = \frac{1.38254954376}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 3}} (P a)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (\frac{p o u n d - f o r c e}{s q u a r e i n c h}) = x (\frac{p o u n d a l}{s q u a r e i n c h})

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times \frac{4.4482216152605}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 4}} \times (p a s c a l) = x \times \frac{1.38254954376}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 3}} \times (p a s c a l)

Or

1.0 \cdot \frac{4.4482216152605}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 4}} \cdot (P a) = x \cdot \frac{1.38254954376}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 3}} \cdot (P a)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times \frac{4.4482216152605}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 4}} \cdot (P a) = x \times \frac{1.38254954376}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 3}} \times (P a)

Conversion Equation

\frac{4.4482216152605}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 4}} = x \times \frac{1.38254954376}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 3}}

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

\frac{4.4482216152605}{6.4516 \times {10^{- 4}}^{10^{- 1}}} = x \times \frac{1.38254954376}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 3}}

Simplify

\frac{4.4482216152605}{10^{- 1}} = x \times 1.38254954376

Switch sides

x \times 1.38254954376 = \frac{4.4482216152605}{10^{- 1}}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{1.38254954376})

x \times 1.38254954376 \times \frac{1.0}{1.38254954376} = \frac{4.4482216152605}{10^{- 1}} \times \frac{1.0}{1.38254954376}

Cancel

x \times 1.38254954376 \times \frac{1.0}{1.38254954376} = \frac{4.4482216152605 \times 1.0}{10^{- 1} \times 1.38254954376}

Simplify

x = \frac{4.4482216152605}{10^{- 1} \times 1.38254954376}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{- 1}} can be rewritten to 10

Rewrite

x = \frac{10.0 \times 4.4482216152605}{1.38254954376}

Solve

x

x \approx 32.174048556 \approx 32.174

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{p o u n d - f o r c e}{s q u a r e i n c h}) \approx 32.174 (\frac{p o u n d a l}{s q u a r e i n c h})
