Pounds Per Square Inch Formula
The following equation can be used to calculate pounds per square inch.
P = F / (L*W)
- Where P is the pounds per square inch
- F is the force in lb-force
- L is the length (in)
- W is the width (in)
To calculate the pounds per square inch, divide the pound-force by the result of the length times the width.
