What are Ksi and Poundal-square-foot

Definition of Ksi

Ksi, or kips per square inch, is a unit of pressure or stress. It represents 1,000 pounds-force per square inch. Utilized primarily in the United States, it is part of the imperial system and is commonly used in materials science and engineering to express large force concentrations in materials testing and construction.

Definition of Poundal-square-foot

A poundal-square-foot, denoted as pdl/ft², is a non-SI unit of pressure. It is derived from poundal, a unit of force in the Foot-Pound-Second (FPS) system, where one poundal is the force needed to accelerate one pound-mass at a rate of one foot per second squared. When this force is distributed over an area of one square foot, it results in the pressure unit of pdl/ft².
