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.
torr
Definition: The torr (symbol: Torr) is a unit of pressure defined as 1/760 of a standard atmosphere. It is named after Evangelista Torricelli, an Italian physicist and mathematician.
History/origin: The torr is based on the pressure exerted by a column of mercury 1 millimeter high. It was originally defined in relation to the height of a mercury barometer.
Current use: The torr is used in vacuum technology, pressure measurement of low-pressure systems, and some areas of scientific research.
