What are Gigapascal and Ksi

Definition of Gigapascal

A gigapascal (GPa) is a unit of pressure within the metric system, equivalent to one billion pascals. One pascal is the pressure of one newton per square meter. The gigapascal is often used in materials science and engineering to express the stiffness or tensile strength of materials, where immense pressures are common.

Definition of Ksi

Ksi is a unit of pressure in the Imperial system, representing a thousand pounds per square inch. It is widely used in materials engineering and construction to describe tensile strengths, yield strengths, and material stresses in the United States, where the Imperial system is prevalent.
