What are Millipascal and Kip-force per square inch

Definition of Millipascal

A millipascal (MPa) is a metric unit of pressure or stress. It is a derived unit in the International System of Units (SI), defined as one thousandth of a pascal, which is the SI unit for pressure. One pascal is the pressure of one newton of force applied to an area of one square meter. Therefore, a millipascal represents a small amount of pressure, useful in scientific and engineering calculations where fine precision is required.

Definition of Kip-force per square inch

Kip-force per square inch (ksi) is a unit of pressure used primarily in the United States and is part of the US customary units. One kip is equivalent to 1,000 pounds-force, and when this force is distributed over an area of one square inch, the resulting pressure is measured in ksi. This unit is commonly applied in materials science and engineering fields, notably to express the tensile strength of metals and composites.
