What are Psi and Kilogram-force per square meter

Psi, or pounds per square inch, is a unit of pressure expressing the amount of force applied over one square inch of an area. One psi is equivalent to the pressure exerted by one pound-force applied to an area of one square inch. It is widely used in various industries such as automotive, aviation, and engineering to measure tire pressure, engine performance, and material strength.

Kilogram-force per square meter (kgf/m²) is a metric unit of pressure where one kilogram-force is applied over an area of one square meter. This unit measures the force of gravity exerted by a one kilogram mass. It is commonly used in fields such as meteorology, civil engineering, and construction to quantify stress, load, or pressure in terms of weight per unit area.

History of Psi and Kilogram-force per square meter

Initially, Psi, which stands for pounds per square inch, and kgf/m², representing kilogram-force per square meter, were used in their respective regions and industries. The need for conversion between these two units arose with the globalization of industry and exchange of technical information. This led to the development of converters to facilitate engineers, scientists, and professionals in smoothly transitioning between these units.
