What are Kip-force per square inch and Torr

Definition of Kip-force per square inch

Kip-force per square inch (ksi) is a unit of pressure. One kip-force per square inch equals a thousand pounds-force (lbf) applied over an area of one square inch. This measurement is commonly used in engineering and construction to express tensile strength, yield strength, and other pressure-related parameters.

Definition of Torr

Torr is a unit of pressure based on an absolute scale, named after the Italian physicist Evangelista Torricelli. One Torr is defined as 1/760th of a standard atmosphere, approximately equal to the pressure exerted by a millimeter of mercury (mmHg) at sea level. It is a traditional unit still widely used in vacuum engineering.
