Convert dalton to poundal
Please provide values below to convert dalton [Da] to poundal [pdl], or Convert poundal to dalton.
1 Da = 1.2011e-25 pdl. To convert dalton to poundal, multiply the value by 1.2011e-25; to go the other way, divide by it (1 pdl = 8.3259e+24 Da). Both units measure weight and mass and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 Da = 1.2011e-25 pdl
- 1 pdl = 8.3259e+24 Da
- 10 Da = 1.2011e-24 pdl
- 100 Da = 1.2011e-23 pdl
How to Convert Dalton to Poundal
1 Da = 1.20107020691929e-25 pdl
Example: convert 15 Da to pdl:
15 Da = 15 × 1.20107020691929e-25 pdl = 1.80160531037894e-24 pdl

Dalton
The dalton (Da) is a unit of mass used to express atomic and molecular weights, equivalent to one atomic mass unit (amu).
History/Origin
The dalton was named after John Dalton, who developed early atomic theory in the early 19th century. It has been widely used in chemistry and biochemistry to measure atomic and molecular masses.
Current Use
The dalton is commonly used in scientific contexts to specify the mass of atoms, molecules, and subatomic particles, facilitating precise communication in chemistry, biochemistry, and molecular biology.
Poundal
The poundal (pdl) is a unit of force in the foot-pound-second (FPS) system, defined as the force required to accelerate a one-pound mass at a rate of one foot per second squared.
History/Origin
The poundal was introduced in the 19th century as part of the FPS system of units, primarily used in engineering and physics before the widespread adoption of the SI system. It was designed to provide a consistent force unit based on imperial units.
Current Use
Today, the poundal is largely obsolete and rarely used outside of historical or specialized engineering contexts. It is mainly referenced for educational purposes or in discussions of imperial units, with the SI unit of force (newton) being the standard.
