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

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (\frac{p o u n d a l}{s q u a r e f o o t}) = x (\frac{p o u n d - f o r c e}{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 a l}{s q u a r e f o o t}) = \frac{1.38254954376}{9.290304 \times 10^{- 1}} (p a s c a l) = \frac{1.38254954376}{9.290304 \times 10^{- 1}} (P a)

Right 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)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

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

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times \frac{1.38254954376}{9.290304 \times 10^{- 1}} \times (p a s c a l) = x \times \frac{4.4482216152605}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 4}} \times (p a s c a l)

Or

1.0 \cdot \frac{1.38254954376}{9.290304 \times 10^{- 1}} \cdot (P a) = x \cdot \frac{4.4482216152605}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 4}} \cdot (P a)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times \frac{1.38254954376}{9.290304 \times 10^{- 1}} \cdot (P a) = x \times \frac{4.4482216152605}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 4}} \times (P a)

Conversion Equation

\frac{1.38254954376}{9.290304 \times 10^{- 1}} = x \times \frac{4.4482216152605}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 4}}

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

\frac{1.38254954376}{9.290304 \times 10^{- 1}} = x \times \frac{4.4482216152605}{6.4516 \times {10^{- 4}}^{10^{- 3}}}

Simplify

\frac{1.38254954376}{9.290304} = x \times \frac{4.4482216152605}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 3}}

Switch sides

x \times \frac{4.4482216152605}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 3}} = \frac{1.38254954376}{9.290304}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{6.4516 \times 10^{- 3}}{4.4482216152605})

x \times \frac{4.4482216152605}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 3}} \times \frac{6.4516 \times 10^{- 3}}{4.4482216152605} = \frac{1.38254954376}{9.290304} \times \frac{6.4516 \times 10^{- 3}}{4.4482216152605}

Cancel

x \times \frac{4.4482216152605 \times 6.4516 \times 10^{- 3}}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 3} \times 4.4482216152605} = \frac{1.38254954376 \times 6.4516 \times 10^{- 3}}{9.290304 \times 4.4482216152605}

Simplify

x = \frac{1.38254954376 \times 6.4516 \times 10^{- 3}}{9.290304 \times 4.4482216152605}

Solve

x \approx 0.0002158399 \approx 2.1584 \times 10^{- 4}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{p o u n d a l}{s q u a r e f o o t}) \approx 2.1584 \times 10^{- 4} (\frac{p o u n d - f o r c e}{s q u a r e i n c h})
