1 hPa = 0.000014503768077999999 ksi
1 ksi = 68947.6000045014 hPa

Example: convert 92 hPa to ksi:
92 hPa = 92 x 0.000014503768077999999 = 0.001334346663176 ksi

hectopascal

Definition: The hectopascal (symbol: hPa) is a multiple of the pascal, which is the SI unit of pressure. One hPa is equal to 100 pascals.

History/origin: The hectopascal was introduced as a replacement for the millibar (mbar) in meteorology. The change was intended to promote the use of SI units.

Current use: Hectopascals are primarily used in meteorology for measuring atmospheric pressure. 1 hPa is equivalent to 1 mbar, which was previously the standard unit for atmospheric pressure.

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.
