What are Pound-force per square inch and Newton per square centimeter

Definition of Pound-force per square inch

Pound-force per square inch (psi) is a unit of pressure in the Imperial system of measurement. It represents the amount of force in pounds exerted on one square inch of area. This unit is widely used in various fields such as automotive, industrial, and aeronautical engineering to measure pressure levels in tires, engines, and hydraulic systems.

Definition of Newton per square centimeter

Newton per square centimeter (N/cm²) is a metric unit of pressure defined as the force of one Newton acting on an area of one square centimeter. This unit reflects how the force is distributed over a specific area and is commonly used in scientific and engineering contexts to quantify stress, tensile strength, and material resistance.
