What are Psi and Hectopascal

Definition of Psi

Psi, or pounds per square inch, is a unit of pressure used primarily in the United States. It measures the amount of force applied over one square inch of an area. One psi equals the pressure resulting from a force of one pound-force applied to an area of one square inch.

Definition of Hectopascal

The hectopascal (hPa) is a unit of pressure defined as 100 pascals. It is a standard unit for measuring atmospheric pressure and is equivalent to the millibar. Meteorologists commonly use hectopascals for weather forecasts and to describe barometric pressures in various regions.
