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.

bar

Definition: The bar (symbol: bar) is a metric unit of pressure, but not part of the International System of Units (SI). It is defined as exactly equal to 100,000 Pa (100 kPa), which is slightly less than current average atmospheric pressure on Earth at sea level.

History/origin: The bar was introduced by British meteorologist William Napier Shaw in 1909.

Current use: The bar is used in various fields, including meteorology, diving (for measuring pressure underwater), and industrial applications. It is often used when a unit close to atmospheric pressure is convenient.
