(OP)
hey guys
Can some one help me how can we convert PSI into lbf. I am working on one testing fixture whose gauge reads 40psi, I want to convert to lbf, coz the specs in the test is 300lbf. Is some know how we can convert it.

RE: Conversion
Say for example you have a 40psi force acting on a 2" rod of a cylinder. The area of the face of the rod is 3.14 in^2.
Therefore:
(40lbf/in^2)*(3.14 in^2)
= 125.7 lbf
Hope this helps
