Convert kilopound per square inch to pascal
Kilopound per Square Inch
Ksi (kilopounds per square inch) is a unit of pressure equal to 1,000 pounds-force per square inch (psi), or approximately 6.895 megapascals. It is commonly used in materials science and structural engineering to express tensile strength, yield strength, and modulus of elasticity of metals and other materials. The unit belongs to the US customary and imperial measurement systems.
Pascal
The pascal (Pa) is the SI derived unit of pressure, defined as one newton per square metre (N/m²). It was adopted by the General Conference on Weights and Measures in 1971 and named after the French mathematician and physicist Blaise Pascal. Standard atmospheric pressure is approximately 101,325 Pa, and it is widely used in science, engineering, and meteorology.
