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.


Poundal/square Foot

The poundal per square foot (pdl/ft^2) is a unit of pressure representing the force of one poundal applied over an area of one square foot.

History/Origin

The poundal is an imperial unit of force introduced in the 19th century as part of the foot-pound-second system, primarily used in engineering contexts. The unit pdl/ft^2 was used historically in mechanical and civil engineering to measure pressure but has largely been replaced by SI units.

Current Use

The poundal per square foot is rarely used in modern practice, having been largely replaced by the pascal (Pa) in scientific and engineering applications. It may still appear in legacy systems or specific regional engineering contexts.
