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.


Bar

The bar is a unit of pressure equal to 100,000 pascals, roughly the atmospheric pressure at sea level.

History/Origin

The bar was introduced in 1909 by the British engineering community as a convenient unit for measuring pressure, especially in meteorology and engineering contexts.

Current Use

The bar is widely used in meteorology, engineering, and industrial applications to measure pressure, although the pascal is the SI base unit. It is also common in tire pressure measurements and other pressure-related fields.
