The acronym PSI stands for "Pounds per Square Inch," and is the common unit of measurement for pressure. It can be understood as the amount of force that is exerted on an area of one square inch.

∙ 15y agoNo. A pound is a unit of force, and PSI is for pressure and stress. 1 PSI is one pound of force distributed over 1 square inch of area. 1 PSI could also be 2 pounds distributed over 2 square inches, etc.

∙ 14y agopsi and pounds do not covert over, pounds are a measure of weight, psi is a measure of pressure. 1psi means the pressure contained is applying a force of 1pound per square inch of its surrounding container
PSI = Pounds Per square inch
The pressure does not have an inherent weight it is simply applying a force.

∙ 6y agoThere can be no conversion. 1000 lbs is a measure of mass. That can be stretched to a measure of force (weight) if your knowledge of basic physics is very poor. On the other hand psi is a measure force per unit area (psi = pounds per square inch). The two are based on different measurement units and according to the most basic principles of dimensional analysis, any attempt at conversion between the two is totally flawed.

How many psi in 1 cubic foot of gas?
There can be aby number of psi in a cubic foot because psi is a measurement of pressure and the gas can be any pressure you care to make it.
How many psi in 1 joule?
1 litre diesel in joules
What is the difference between psi and bar?
For your information, Bar is the atmospheric pressure at the sea level, which equals to 100 kilopascals. Psi is 1 pound of force per square inch. You may use this pressure conversion table if you are converting from bar to psi (pound per square inch) for the values listed in the table below.1 Bar = 14.5037738 Psi (Pound Per Square Inch)
1 psi convert in to newtons?
You cannot convert "Newton meters" to psi. psi is a pressure and "newton per square meter" is also a pressure that is called pascal (Pa). Here is a fine pressure converter: Scroll down to related links and look at "Conversion of pressure or stress units".
How much is 30 psi in ATM?
1psi = 0.068 atm. So to convert 30 psi using dimensional analysis... 30 psi x 0.068 atm/1 psi = 2.04 atm
How much psi i equal to 1 pound freon?
Pound per Square Inch = PSI means 1pound in terms of pressure will be 1 psi.
How much weight kg can you lift with 1 psi of water pressure?
You can lift a locomotive or a house with 1 psi, if the pressure is applied over a large enough area.
How much psi is in 1 cubic foot?
Your question is not answerable. PSi is a measure of force or pressure. Cubic feet is a measure of volume.
How much psig equal to 1 psi?
psi is equal to psig...if psi is in the pressure gauge or psig..on a gauge
How much pressure is there 1 mile under the Atlantic Ocean?
about 2350 psi or 16.2 MPa
How much is 140 kilograms per centimeter square pressure equal to in psi?
1 kg/sq cm = 14.2233 psi 140 kg.sq cm = 140 x 14.2233 psi = 1991.262 psi
How many gallons can 1 lbs of pressure lift?
That's really not answerable w/o a lot of assumptions. There's a unit of pressure called PSI, which stands for Pounds-per-Square-Inch. If you have 1 PSI, applied over 8,4 square inches(or more), you will lift one gallon of water.
What is the PSI at 400 feet below sea level?
The pressure of liquid acting on a container or other body increases at the rate of 1 atmosphere or about 14.7 lbs. per square inch for every increase of 33 feet in depth. So doing the math results in: 400ft./33ft. = 12.121. Multiplying that by 14.7 lbs. per square inch yields about 178 lbs. per square inch at 400 feet deep.
What is the Natural Gas pressure at a home kitchen stove?
No more then a 1/2 PSI
How many bar 1 psi?
Pounds per Square Inch or Psi is a unit of pressure or stress. 1 bar is equal to 14.50377 Psi.
How many psi in 1 cubic foot of gas?
There can be aby number of psi in a cubic foot because psi is a measurement of pressure and the gas can be any pressure you care to make it.
What is bar pressure?
1 bar = 14.7 psi therefore 9 bar = 132.3 psi
