What are Ksi and Inch Mercury

Definition of Ksi

KSI, or kilopound per square inch, is a unit of pressure. It represents one thousand pounds of force per square inch. This measurement is commonly used in engineering to quantify tensile strength, yield strength, and other stress-related parameters in materials, particularly metals and alloys.

Definition of Inch Mercury

Inch Mercury (inHg) is a unit of measurement for pressure. It refers to the pressure exerted by a column of mercury that is one inch in height at a defined temperature, typically at 32 degrees Fahrenheit. It is commonly used in meteorology to measure atmospheric pressure.
