Full API documentation

Explanation

Formula: Pounds per Square Inch = Pounds per Square Foot × 0.006944444. Why: both units are stress scales with fixed pascal equivalents, so the conversion moves through pascals and preserves a single deterministic factor.

Pounds per square foot (psf): an imperial stress unit used for distributed loads, building loads, and lower-range structural references.

Pounds per square inch (psi): an imperial stress unit widely used in structural, mechanical, and materials specifications.

This route is useful when translating imperial stress values between psi and psf for structural loads, distributed loads, and mechanical specifications.

This conversion is purely multiplicative because both units reduce through pascals using fixed stress constants with no offset.

Method & Reference
