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

Definition of Pound-force per square inch

Pound-force per square inch (psi) is a unit of pressure in the Imperial system of units. It represents the pressure exerted by one pound-force applied to an area of one square inch. This unit is widely used in the United States and other countries still on the Imperial system.

Definition of Newton per square millimeter

Newton per square millimeter (N/mm²) is a metric unit of pressure, also known as megapascal (MPa). It indicates the force of one Newton applied to an area of one square millimeter. This unit is commonly used in engineering and material science to describe tensile strength, yield strength, and other stress-related parameters.
