pound-force per square inch [psi]
Definition: A unit of pressure commonly used in the United States, equal to the pressure produced by a one-pound force applied to an area of one square inch.
Historyandorigin: The pound-force per square inch has been a traditional unit of pressure in the imperial system for centuries.
CurrentUse: Widely used in the U.S. for tire pressure, hydraulic systems, and HVAC systems.
funfact: Many car tire pressures are specified in psi, making it a commonly recognized unit for everyday use!
megapascal [MPa]
Definition: A unit of pressure, equal to one million pascals (1 MPa = 1,000,000 Pa).
Historyandorigin: The megapascal is frequently used in high-pressure industries like engineering and material science.
CurrentUse: Commonly used in the testing of materials, particularly in the strength of metals and other structural components.
funfact: The strength of steel is often measured in megapascals!
