Ksi
Ksi (kilopound per square inch) is a unit of pressure measurement representing thousands of pounds-force per square inch.
History/Origin
The unit originated from the imperial system, primarily used in the United States for measuring pressure in engineering and industrial contexts, especially in the oil and gas industries.
Current Use
Ksi is still used today in engineering, construction, and manufacturing to specify material strength, pressure ratings, and structural specifications, particularly in the United States.
Standard Atmosphere
The standard atmosphere (atm) is a unit of pressure defined as 101,325 pascals, representing the average atmospheric pressure at sea level.
History/Origin
The standard atmosphere was established in the early 20th century to provide a consistent reference for pressure measurements, based on the average atmospheric pressure at sea level under standard conditions.
Current Use
The atm is commonly used in fields such as meteorology, aviation, and engineering to express pressure, especially in contexts involving gases and atmospheric conditions.
