Newton to PSI Calculator

Formula

To convert Newtons to PSI:

\[ PSI = \frac{N}{4.448 \times A} \]

Where:

\(PSI\) is the pressure in pounds per square inch
\(N\) is the total force in Newtons
\(A\) is the total area in square inches

What is PSI?

PSI stands for pounds per square inch. It is a unit of pressure used to quantify the amount of force applied over a given area. Converting from Newtons to PSI helps in understanding the pressure exerted in terms of this unit, which is commonly used in various engineering and scientific applications.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Total Force (\(N\)) = 1000 N
Total Area (\(A\)) = 50 in²

Use the formula:

\[ PSI = \frac{1000}{4.448 \times 50} = \frac{1000}{222.4} \approx 4.50 \text{ psi} \]

The pressure is approximately 4.50 psi.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Total Force (\(N\)) = 2500 N
Total Area (\(A\)) = 100 in²

Use the formula:

\[ PSI = \frac{2500}{4.448 \times 100} = \frac{2500}{444.8} \approx 5.62 \text{ psi} \]

The pressure is approximately 5.62 psi.
