Kilopound Per Square Foot (abbreviations: ksf, or kips/ft2): is a British (Imperial) and American pressure unit which is directly related to the ksi pressure unit by a factor of 144 (1 sq ft = 12 in x 12 in = 144 sq in). Where, 1 kilopound per square foot equals 47.8803 kilopascals.
Atmosphere (abbreviation: atm): is a unit of standard pressure, equal to 101325 Pa, or 1.01325 bar.
How to Convert Kilopounds Per Square Feet to Atmospheres
Example: How many Atmospheres are equivalent to 86.32 kilopounds per square feet?
As;
1 kilopounds per square feet = 0.47267453393724 Atmospheres
86.32 kilopounds per square feet = Y Atmospheres
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 86.32 times 0.47267453393724 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 86.32 * 0.47267453393724 / 1 = 40.801265769462 Atmospheres
Answer is: 40.801265769462 Atmospheres are equivalent to 86.32 kilopounds per square feet.
