Pounds / square inch x square inches = pounds.
Pound / sq in x sq mm = gibberish
Keep the units consistent and you will get real answers.

There is nothing in your formula that quantifies the area over which the
1698 lbs. is spread. Using your formula, I could say that the piston is
132mm in diameter in which case:
13,701.4 sq mm @ 80psi=1,096,112 lbs. force
