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.

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
