What are Millibar and Kip-force square Inch

Definition of Millibar

A millibar, symbolized as 'mbar', is a unit of pressure in the metric system equal to one thousandth of a bar. It is a non-SI unit but is commonly used in meteorology and for atmospheric pressure measurements. One millibar is equivalent to 100 pascals or 0.0145 pounds per square inch (psi). This unit helps in providing a clear understanding of pressure changes in various scientific and engineering fields.

Definition of Kip-force square Inch

A kip-force per square inch (ksi) is a unit of pressure used primarily in the field of engineering and construction. One kip-force is equivalent to 1000 pounds-force. When this force is applied over a square inch area, the resultant pressure is measured in ksi. This unit is instrumental in assessing material strength, especially in the context of tensile and compressive stress in structural engineering and materials science.
