pascal

Definition: The pascal (symbol: Pa) is the SI derived unit of pressure used to quantify internal pressure, stress, Young's modulus and ultimate tensile strength.

History/origin: The pascal is named after Blaise Pascal, a French mathematician, physicist, inventor, writer, and philosopher. The unit was adopted in 1971.

Current use: The pascal is used worldwide for measuring pressure in various applications, including meteorology (atmospheric pressure), material science (stress and strain), and engineering (fluid pressure).

pound per square inch

Definition: Pound per square inch (symbol: psi or lbf/in²) is a unit of pressure in the imperial and US customary systems. It is defined as the pressure resulting from a force of one pound-force applied to an area of one square inch.

History/origin: The pound per square inch is rooted in the English system of units. Its widespread use grew with the development of steam engines and other technologies requiring pressure measurements.

Current use: psi is commonly used in the United States for measuring tire pressure, hydraulic pressure, steam pressure, and the pressure of compressed gases. It's prevalent in automotive, manufacturing, and various engineering applications.
