What are Psi and Dyne

Definition of Psi

Psi, or pounds per square inch, is a unit of pressure in the Imperial system of measurement. It quantifies the force exerted by one pound of force applied over an area of one square inch. Widely used in various industries, psi is a critical measure for gauging the pressure within containers, tires, and other systems.

Definition of Dyne

Dyne is a unit of force within the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units. One dyne equals the force required to accelerate a mass of one gram at a rate of one centimeter per second squared. It's a fundamental concept in physics, representing a tiny, yet significant, measure of force.
