When working with tactile data, it is often necessary to convert between the applied load and the total force or average pressure seen.

PPS Convert is a simple application for converting between tactile pressure and force based on the contact area, as well as for converting among common units for force and pressure. Simply enter the applied force or pressure, the contact area as either a circular or rectangular region, and select the output units.

Pressure Profile Systems, Inc. designs and develops the world's most advanced instrumentation systems for measuring distributed tactile and contact pressures.
