How to Convert megapascal to kilopound per square inchkilopound per square inch
1 MPa = 0.14503768077999998 ksi
1 ksi = 6.89476000045014 MPa
Example: convert 84 MPa to ksi:
84 MPa = 84 x 0.14503768077999998 = 12.183165185519998 ksi
megapascal
Definition: The megapascal (symbol: MPa) is a multiple of the pascal, which is the SI unit of pressure and stress. One MPa is equal to 1,000,000 pascals.
History/origin: Like the pascal, the megapascal's origin is tied to the development of SI units. It provides a more convenient scale for expressing large pressures.
Current use: Megapascals are frequently used in engineering, especially in the fields of material science, structural engineering, and geomechanics, for measuring the strength of materials, stresses in structures, and pressures in geological formations.
kilopound per square inch
Definition: Kip per square inch (symbol: ksi) is a unit of pressure equal to 1,000 psi (pounds per square inch).
History/origin: The kilopound per square inch is a practical unit derived from the pound per square inch (psi) to express large pressures in a more manageable form. It simplifies calculations and reduces the number of digits needed.
Current use: ksi is used in structural engineering, material science, and other fields where large pressures or stresses are involved. It is common for describing the tensile strength and yield strength of materials such as steel and concrete.
