What are Psi and Atmosphere

Definition of Psi

PSI, or pounds per square inch, is a unit of pressure commonly used in the United States. It measures the amount of force applied over one square inch of an area. One PSI is equivalent to the pressure exerted by a one-pound force applied to an area of one square inch. PSI is widely used in various industries to gauge the pressure of gases, liquids, and air.

Definition of Atmosphere

An atmosphere (atm) is a unit of pressure defined as the pressure exerted by the Earth's atmosphere at sea level. It is equivalent to the pressure caused by a column of mercury 760 millimeters high or 101325 pascals. One atm is used as a reference pressure for gauging other pressures and is a critical unit in atmospheric science and engineering.
