What are Kip-force square Inch and Femtopascal

A Kip-force per square inch (ksi) is a unit of pressure that is predominantly used in the United States. It represents the amount of force in kips (one kip is equal to 1,000 pounds-force) applied to one square inch of area. This measurement is commonly used in materials science and engineering to express tensile strength, yield strength, and other stress-related properties of materials.

A Femtopascal (fPa) is an extremely small unit of pressure in the metric system. It is a derived unit that represents one quadrillionth of a pascal, the SI unit of pressure. Given its minuscule magnitude, the femtopascal is used in scientific fields to measure and express very low pressures, such as those encountered in outer space or in ultra-high vacuum systems used in research.
