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.
Pascal
The pascal (Pa) is the SI derived unit of pressure, defined as one newton per square meter.
History/Origin
Named after Blaise Pascal, the pascal was adopted as the SI unit of pressure in 1971, replacing earlier units like the bar and atmosphere.
Current Use
The pascal is widely used in science, engineering, and meteorology to measure pressure, with common applications including atmospheric pressure, tire pressure, and fluid pressure in systems.
