What are Psi and Inch Mercury

Definition of Psi

PSI, or pounds per square inch, is a unit of pressure used to quantify internal pressure, stress, or mechanical stress within a system. It measures the force applied in pounds over a one square inch area. Widely used across various industries, PSI is a fundamental unit in engineering, manufacturing, and science for indicating the pressure level or performance of materials and components.

Definition of Inch Mercury

Inch of Mercury (inHg) is a unit of measurement for pressure. It is based on the pressure exerted by a one-inch column of mercury at the Earth's gravity at a specified temperature, usually 32°F (0°C). InHg is commonly used in meteorology to measure atmospheric pressure and is also applied in aviation, where it is used for setting aircraft altimeter settings.
