Tonne Per Meter Cube (abbreviations: t/m2, or tpm2): is the SI derived unit of pressure used to quantify internal pressure, stress, Young's modulus and ultimate tensile strength interms of tonne per meter cube.
Pound Per Square Foot (abbreviations: psf, or lb/ft2): is a British (Imperial) and American pressure unit which is directly related to the psi pressure unit by a factor of 144 (1 sq ft = 12 in x 12 in = 144 sq in). Where, 1 pound per square foot equals 47.8803 pascals.
How to Convert Tonnes Per Meters Cube to Pounds Per Square Feet
Example: How many pounds per square feet are equivalent to 79.98 tonnes per meters cube?
As;
1 tonnes per meters cube = 208.854 pounds per square feet
79.98 tonnes per meters cube = Y pounds per square feet
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 79.98 times 208.854 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 79.98 * 208.854 / 1 = 16704.14292 pounds per square feet
Answer is: 16704.14292 pounds per square feet are equivalent to 79.98 tonnes per meters cube.
