What are Kilopascal and Inch

Definition of Kilopascal

A kilopascal (kPa) is a unit of pressure measurement in the International System of Units (SI). It represents one thousand pascals, where a pascal is the pressure exerted by a one-Newton force acting on a one-square-meter area. Kilopascals are commonly used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure atmospheric pressure, gas pressures, or structural pressures in materials.

Definition of Inch

An inch is a unit of length in the British imperial and the United States customary systems of measurement. It is defined as 1/12 of a foot, also it is 1/36 of a yard. According to the modern standard, an inch is exactly 25.4 millimeters. Inches are widely used in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom and are often represented by the double prime symbol (").
