What are Ton-force short per square inch and Dekapascal

Definition of Ton-force short per square inch

Ton-force short per square inch (often abbreviated as 'psi') is a unit of pressure representing the force of one short ton exerted on an area of one square inch. It is commonly used in the United States and is a measure of the pressure resulting from a force of 2000 pounds-force (lbf) distributed over an area of one square inch.

Definition of Dekapascal

A dekapascal (daPa) is a metric unit of pressure or stress. It is not a commonly used unit in everyday applications but is used in scientific contexts. One dekapascal equals ten pascals, the SI derived unit of pressure, stress, Young's modulus, and ultimate tensile strength. The dekapascal helps in measuring smaller pressure changes within a system.
