What are Pound-force square Inch and Kilogram-force sq. Cm

Pound-force per square inch (psi) is a unit of pressure in the Imperial system of measurement. It quantifies the force in pounds exerted on one square inch of area. This unit is widely used in various applications such as measuring tire pressure, scuba tank pressure, and the strength of materials. Understanding psi is crucial for engineers, mechanics, and professionals in related fields to ensure safety and efficiency in their work.

Kilogram-force per square centimeter (kgf/cm²) is a metric unit of pressure, also known as technical atmosphere. It represents the force of one kilogram acting on an area of one square centimeter. This unit is commonly used in various industrial applications and scientific contexts, including material testing, hydraulic systems, and in regions where the metric system is the standard for pressure measurements.
