What are Megapascal and Pound-force per square inch

Definition of Megapascal

A Megapascal (MPa) is a unit of pressure or stress within the International System of Units (SI). One Megapascal is equal to one million pascals or one newton per square millimeter. It is commonly used in materials science and engineering to express the tensile strength, elasticity, and pressure of materials and fluids.

Definition of Pound-force per square inch

Pound-force per square inch (psi) is a unit of pressure in the Imperial and US customary systems of units. It is defined as the pressure resulting from a force of one pound-force applied to an area of one square inch. This unit is commonly used in the United States for gauge pressure, such as tire inflation and natural gas pipeline pressures.
