What are Centipascal and Pound-force per square inch

Definition of Centipascal

A Centipascal, denoted as cPa, is a unit of pressure. It represents one hundredth of a Pascal, which is the SI unit for pressure. One Pascal is defined as one Newton per square meter. Therefore, a Centipascal is equivalent to 0.01 Pascal, reflecting a relatively small amount of pressure typically used in scientific or engineering calculations. The Centipascal is not commonly used, but it can be useful in precise measurements of low-pressure values.

Definition of Pound-force per square inch

Pound-force per square inch, abbreviated as psi, is a unit of pressure commonly used in the United States and other countries still utilizing the imperial system of measurements. It measures the force in pounds exerted on one square inch of area. One psi is equivalent to the pressure exerted by a one-pound force applied to an area of one square inch. This unit is widely used in various industrial and mechanical processes, such as measuring tire pressure, fuel storage, and hydraulic systems.
