What are Ksi and Gigapascal

Definition of Ksi

Ksi, or kilopound per square inch, is a unit of pressure. It represents 1000 pounds of force per square inch and is commonly used in engineering to measure tensile strength, yield strength, and other stress-related parameters in materials.

Definition of Gigapascal

A gigapascal (GPa) is a unit of pressure or stress in the International System of Units (SI). It is equivalent to a billion pascals, where one pascal is the pressure of one newton per square meter. GPa is often used to express the Young's modulus of materials.
