Ksi
Ksi (kilopound per square inch) is a unit of pressure measurement representing thousands of pounds-force per square inch.
History/Origin
The unit originated from the imperial system, primarily used in the United States for measuring pressure in engineering and industrial contexts, especially in the oil and gas industries.
Current Use
Ksi is still used today in engineering, construction, and manufacturing to specify material strength, pressure ratings, and structural specifications, particularly in the United States.
Attopascal
The attopascal (aPa) is a unit of pressure equal to 10^-18 pascals, representing an extremely small pressure measurement.
History/Origin
The attopascal was introduced as part of the SI prefixes to denote very small quantities of pressure, but it is rarely used in practical applications due to its minuscule magnitude.
Current Use
The attopascal is primarily used in scientific research and theoretical contexts where extremely small pressure differences are relevant, although it remains largely a conceptual unit.
