What are Millimeter and Psi

Definition of Millimeter

A millimeter, symbolized as 'mm', is a unit of length in the metric system equal to one thousandth (1/1000) of a meter. It serves as a standard measurement for small distances and dimensions, commonly used in various fields such as engineering, construction, and manufacturing. The millimeter is a crucial unit in precise measurements and technical drawings, providing a high degree of accuracy for detailed work.

Definition of Psi

Psi, short for pounds per square inch, is a unit of pressure used primarily in the United States. It measures the amount of force applied over a one square inch area. One psi is equivalent to the pressure exerted by a one-pound weight placed on an area of one square inch. This unit is widely used in various industries, including automotive, aerospace, and mechanical engineering, to indicate the pressure of gases or liquids in a system.
