What are Ksi and Kilonewton

Definition of Ksi

Ksi, or kilopound per square inch, is a unit of pressure. It represents a thousand pounds of force per square inch. This unit is commonly used in materials science and engineering to express the tensile or compressive strength of materials, especially in the United States.

Definition of Kilonewton

A kilonewton (kN) is a unit of force in the International System of Units (SI). It is equal to one thousand newtons. The newton is a derived unit that quantifies the amount of force needed to accelerate a one-kilogram mass at a rate of one meter per second squared.
