oz/in² – Ounce per Square Inch Pressure Unit

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.

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

• Industrial powder duct pressure transmitter with +/-15 kPa range
• Minus 25 mb vacuum intrinsically safe 4-20mA pressure sensor
• Four cleanroom zones monitoring system to measure overpressure, temperature & humidity
