What are Ksi and Kilogram-force/sq. cm

Definition of Ksi

Ksi is a unit of pressure defined as a thousand pounds-force per square inch. It's commonly used in engineering to measure tensile strength, yield strength, and pressure. One ksi equals 1,000 psi, making it a substantial unit for assessing materials' capabilities in high-stress environments.

Definition of Kilogram-force/sq. cm

Kilogram-force per square centimeter (kgf/cm²) is a non-SI metric unit of pressure. It is defined as the pressure exerted by one kilogram-force acting on an area of one square centimeter. This unit is commonly used in industries like hydraulics and material science to measure stress, strain, and pressure.
