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

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 quantifies the force exerted in pounds on an area of one square inch. This unit is widely used in various industries such as automotive, aviation, and engineering to measure pressure levels in tires, hydraulic systems, and other pressurized compartments.

Definition of Newton per square meter

Newton per square meter (N/m²) is the SI derived unit of pressure. It represents the force in newtons acting uniformly on a surface area of one square meter. This unit, also called a Pascal, is a fundamental measure in physics and engineering for expressing stress, tensile strength, and elastic moduli of materials.
