Yes, you can convert the foot-pound force (ft-lbf) to pound per square inch (psi). The conversion is foot-pound force divided by volume times 12 equaling pound per square inch (ft-lbf /in3x 12 = psi). Mathematically this is dF/d3 → F/d2, which is equal to psi. In ballistics we take the foot-pound force of a projectile at impact velocity and the total volume of the total ballistics channel (aka temporary wound channel) at the peak of the transverse wave curve.
It is a misnomer that psi is static. Yes it can be. But during the filling of a balloon at your favorite drug store the psi is dynamic. The helium in the tank is at 2000psi. When the valve is open The helium then flows into the regulator. From there the helium flows at about 5psi through to the nozzle and into the balloon. The flowing helium expanse into balloon and drops to about 1.5psi. As the balloon expanse the pressures stays low but does steadily rise, even though helium comes out at 5psi. At some point the helium must be turned off or the 5psi will overcome the maximum elasticity of the the latex in the balloon. When the balloon is tied off the psi becomes static again. With the volume of the balloon and fill time are known the foot-pound force of the helium can ultimately be calculated.

∙ 9y agoI don't believe this is possible because foot pounds refers to torque, but psi refers to pressure.

How many psi is equal to 1 meter?
This question cannot be answered because psi (pounds per square inch) is an imperial measure for pressure and 1 metre is a metric lineal measurement. To convert psi to metric you would probably use the metric pressure measurement of kpa (kilopascals). To convert pounds per square inch to kilopascals (PSI to KPA), multiply the PSI value by 6.894757293168361. To convert kilopascals to pounds per square inch (KPA to PSI), multiply the kpa value by .14503773773020923.
What is the conversion factor ft-pound to PSI?
PSI - pounds per square inch, a unit of pressure expressed in the pounds of force exerted on a square inch. Foot Pounds is a unit of torque, the amount of force applied in a circular motion at one foot radius in pounds. This is an apples-tomatoes question, both are red or green fruit, but that's about all they have in common. The closest answer I can give you is if you want to exert one foot pound on a one foot radius apply one psi on a cylinder with a surface area of 1 inch connected to an arm at one foot and assume no friction. This of course is not reality, since cylinders this size have a resistive force of about 14 psi, so you'd actually need to supply 15 psi in order to achieve one foot pound of force on your one foot arm.
Convert 4.5 bar to pounds per square inch?

How do you convert psi into pounds of force?
How do I convert foot pounds of torque to a tensile strength
How do you convert Pounds per square foot to pounds per square inch?
Pounds per square foot x 0.006944 equals psi
How do you convert psi to ft lb?
You don't. "PSI" is a unit of presure. "Foot-pounds" is a unit of energy or torque. They're different physical quantities, and they don't convert. This next comment may be abstruse: If PSI could be converted directly to foot-pounds, then it would be possible to calibrate your barometer in kilowatt-hours, and your electric meter could be marked in Atmospheres or Pascals if you wanted that.
How do you convert in to pounds per sq in?
The answer will depend on what it is that you wish to convert into PSI. You cannot. Inches are a linear measure, PSI (pounds per square inch) is a measure of pressure. The units are incompatible.
