What are Kilopascal and Ksi

Definition of Kilopascal

A kilopascal (kPa) is a unit of pressure measurement within the International System of Units (SI). It is equivalent to one thousand pascals, the standard unit of pressure. One kilopascal corresponds to the force of one kilogram exerted over an area of one square meter. This unit is commonly used in engineering, construction, and science, reflecting moderate levels of pressure.

Definition of Ksi

Ksi, or kilopound per square inch, is a non-SI unit of pressure. It is mainly used in the United States and represents one thousand pounds-force per square inch. This unit is often applied in engineering and materials science, particularly when discussing tensile and yield strengths of materials, providing a measure of force over a specific area.
