kilopascal [kPa]
Definition: The kilopascal (kPa) is a unit of pressure equal to 1,000 pascals.
Historyandorigin: Kilopascals were introduced as a more practical unit of pressure in everyday use, as pascals themselves are too small.
CurrentUse: It is commonly used to measure pressure in industrial, engineering, and meteorological contexts.
funfact: The standard atmospheric pressure at sea level is 101.325 kPa!
pounds per square inch [psi]
Definition: Pounds per square inch (psi) is a unit of pressure used to measure force applied to a one-inch square area.
Historyandorigin: Psi has been widely used in the United States and the UK for measuring tire pressure, hydraulic systems, and other engineering applications.
CurrentUse: It is commonly used in the United States for measuring the pressure in tires, gas tanks, and industrial systems.
funfact: A typical car tire is inflated to around 30-35 psi.
