Ksi
Ksi (kilopound per square inch) is a unit of pressure measurement representing thousands of pounds-force per square inch.
History/Origin
The unit originated from the imperial system, primarily used in the United States for measuring pressure in engineering and industrial contexts, especially in the oil and gas industries.
Current Use
Ksi is still used today in engineering, construction, and manufacturing to specify material strength, pressure ratings, and structural specifications, particularly in the United States.
Inch Mercury (60°f)
Inch of mercury (60°F) is a unit of pressure measurement representing the height of a column of mercury 1 inch high at 60°F under standard gravity.
History/Origin
Originally used in barometry and meteorology, the inch of mercury has been a standard unit for measuring atmospheric pressure in the Imperial system since the 19th century.
Current Use
It is still used in some regions, such as the United States, primarily for measuring atmospheric pressure in weather reports and aviation, although it is gradually being replaced by Pascals in scientific contexts.
