These are not the same dimension. Pounds force is a unit of force. PSI means pounds per square inch, which is a unit of pressure (force per unit area).
The word gage refers to the fact that a pressure gage measures the difference between the pressure on the inside of a container and the outside. Normal atmospheric pressure is about 14 psi, so if a container of compressed air (like the tires on your car) measures 10 psi with a gage, the absolute pressure inside the tire is 14 + 10 = 24 pounds per square inch.
The total force acting on a square inch of the tire material is 24 pounds - 10 pounds from the inside, and 14 pounds from the outside. Note, I approximated the 14 psi atmospheric. The actual at sea level is "14.something", I just couldn't remember the exact amount

What is the formula for Psi?
"Psi" says the formula. The pound per square inch or, more accurately, pound-force per square inch - symbol: psi or lbf/in2 or lbf/in2 - is a unit of pressure or of stress based on avoirdupois units. It is the pressure resulting from a force of one pound-force applied to an area of one square inch. 1 pound per square inch = 6 894.75729 pascals Pascal (Pa) is the SI unit of pressure.
What is 5 inches of water column converted to psi?
You need to multiply by 0.036. So 5 x 0.036=.18 psi
What is a formula for converting PSI to mph?
PSI stands for pounds per square inch. MPH stands for miles per hour. psi is used to measure pressure, and mph is used to measure speed. They have no relationship and cannot be converted to one another.
What is 1 psi converted into inches of water?
One psi (pounds per square inch) is 27.7 inches of water. An inch of water is a unit of pressure which will raise water one inch. A cubic inch of water weighs 0.0361 pounds, so one psi is one over 0.0361 or 27.7 inches of water.
What means psig?
In standard English: "What does psig mean?" The abbreviation stands for pounds per square inch gauge. PSI is a standard unit of pressure, which may be converted to/from Pascals. "Gauge" here means relative to surrounding atmospheric pressure. So a reading of 100 psig means a pressure of 100 psi *above* the atmospheric pressure, which is around around 14.7 psi at sea level, making 114.7 psi absolute pressure.
What is full form of psi?
Pounds per Square Inch.
What is the meaning of psi symbol?
Psi stands for pound per square inch. This system is used to measure pressure. 1 Psi is equal to 1 pound of force on an area of 1 square inch.
What is 260kPa in psi?
There's no simple answer, because the question is incorrect. PSI (pounds per square inch) is not equivalent to kN (kilonewtons). PSI is pound-force (lb.f) per square inch, which is 6895 Nm-2. The "m-2" is important. 1 Nm-2 is known as 1 Pa (one pascal) is SI units. So assuming the question to be answered is 600Pa in PSI, then the answer is 87.02psi Alternatively the question could be 600KN in pound-force, which is 134885 lb.f
What is Psi is equal to?
It is a measure of pressure in the near obsolete system of measurement. PSI stands for pound force per square inch. 1 PSI = 6895 Pascal, approx.
What is the formula for Psi?
"Psi" says the formula. The pound per square inch or, more accurately, pound-force per square inch - symbol: psi or lbf/in2 or lbf/in2 - is a unit of pressure or of stress based on avoirdupois units. It is the pressure resulting from a force of one pound-force applied to an area of one square inch. 1 pound per square inch = 6 894.75729 pascals Pascal (Pa) is the SI unit of pressure.
How do you find gage pressure?
Gage pressure is the difference between atmospheric pressure and absolute pressure. If you fill your tire to 35 psi as read on a tire gage, this is the gage pressure. The absolute pressure inside the tire is the pressure of the atmosphere (14.7 psi normally at sea level) plus the gage pressure.
How much is 0.060lbs in psi?
Pound is a unit of mass (or of force, the distinction is not always clear);"psi" stands for "pound per square inch", which is a unit of pressure.You can't just convert one to the other. The relationship is:pressure = force/area. 0.060 pounds exerts a pressure of 0.060/(the area upon which it pushes, in square inches) psi.
Could you Convert 8.5lbs to psi?
No, It is not possible as they measure different things. Pounds is a measurement of force and psi is a measurement of pressure. This problem is similar to asking if feet can be converted to gallons.
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)
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 psi i equal to 1 pound freon?
Pound per Square Inch = PSI means 1pound in terms of pressure will be 1 psi.
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.
