Nanopascal

The nanopascal (nPa) is a unit of pressure equal to one billionth of a pascal, where 1 nPa = 10^-9 Pa.

History/Origin

The nanopascal was introduced as part of the SI unit system's extension to accommodate very small pressure measurements, primarily in scientific research involving micro- and nanoscale phenomena.

Current Use

Nanopascals are used in high-precision scientific applications such as atmospheric pressure measurements, microfluidics, and nanotechnology research where extremely low pressure differences need to be quantified.


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.
