Ounce or Ounce Force per Square Inch is a low pressure unit which is part of the British and American system of units. 1 ounce per square inch equals 430.922 pascals.
The ozf/in² is used mostly for very low pressure rated equipment such as breather valves or controllers for LP natural gas appliances.
There are exactly 16 oz/in² in 1 psi which duplicates the relationship between pounds and ounces used to measure mass and weight.
To convert 1 oz/in² into other pressure units please use the list of conversion factors below.
Click on a pressure unit link to obtain the equivalent oz/in² conversion value.
To convert different different values of ozf/in² please use our on page pressure calculator.
See how oz/in² are derived from SI units and check whether a unit matches one of the versions of identifying oz/in2.

Derivation
The calculation below shows how the pressure unit Ounce per Square Inch (oz/in²) is derived from SI Units.
Formula
- Pressure = Force / Area
- Force = Mass x Acceleration
- Acceleration = Distance / (Second x Second)
SI Units
- Mass: kilogram (kg)
- Length: metre (m)
- Time: second (s)
- Force: newton (N)
- Pressure: pascal (Pa)
Input Values
- 1 Ounce = 0.02834952313 kg
- 1 Inch = 0.0254 m
- 1 Square Inch = 0.0254 m x 0.0254 m = 0.00064516 m²
- Acceleration = Standard Gravity = 9.80665 m/s²
Calculation
- 1 Ounce Force = 0.02834952313 kg x 9.80665 m/s² = 0.278013851 N
- 1 oz/in² Pressure = 0.278013851 N / 0.00064516 m² = 430.9223309 Pa
