Megapascal (abbreviations: Mpa, or MN/m2, or N/mm2): is the SI derived unit of pressure used to quantify internal pressure, stress, Young's modulus and ultimate tensile strength. It is one meganewton per square meter or one newton per square millimeter. It is named after the French polymath Blaise Pascal.
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.
How to Convert Megapascals to Kilopounds Per Square Feet
Example: How many kilopounds per square feet are equivalent to 94.78 megapascals?
As;
1 megapascals = 20.885459731138 kilopounds per square feet
94.78 megapascals = Y kilopounds per square feet
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 94.78 times 20.885459731138 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 94.78 * 20.885459731138 / 1 = 1979.5238733173 kilopounds per square feet
Answer is: 1979.5238733173 kilopounds per square feet are equivalent to 94.78 megapascals.
