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.
Hectopascal
The hectopascal (hPa) is a unit of pressure equal to 100 pascals, commonly used in meteorology to measure atmospheric pressure.
History/Origin
The hectopascal was introduced as part of the metric system and became widely adopted in meteorology during the 20th century for standardizing atmospheric pressure measurements.
Current Use
Today, the hectopascal is predominantly used in weather reporting and forecasting to indicate atmospheric pressure, with standard sea-level pressure approximately 1013 hPa.
