What are Ksi and Kilopascal

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 widely used in engineering and construction to measure tensile and yield strength of materials, especially in the United States.

Definition of Kilopascal

A Kilopascal (kPa) is a unit of pressure in the metric system. It is equivalent to 1000 Pascals, where a Pascal is the pressure of one Newton per square meter. Kilopascals are commonly used worldwide for measuring tire pressure, atmospheric pressure, and mechanical stresses in materials.
