User Guide

Use this calculator to determine the pressure generated by a force acting over a surface that is in direct contact with the applied load. A conversion scale of incremental vales of force and pressure connected with the selected parameters will also be shown.

Applied Force

This is the force generated by a load acting on a surface and can be specified in any of the force measurement units available from the drop down selection box.

Contact Area

This is the contact surface area which the force is directly applied to, and can be specified in any area measurement unit available from the pull down selection choices.

Generated Pressure

This is the resulting pressure generated by the specified force and area and is calculated by dividing the force by the area.
