Unit Information

Pascal (Pa)

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. It is defined as one newton per square meter.

Current Use

The pascal is widely used in science and engineering. However, for many everyday applications, it is a very small unit, so kilopascals (kPa) or megapascals (MPa) are more common.

Pound-force per square inch (psi)

Definition

Pound-force per square inch (symbol: psi) is a unit of pressure or of stress based on avoirdupois units. It is the pressure resulting from a force of one pound-force applied to an area of one square inch.

Current Use

PSI is the standard unit of pressure in the United States and other countries that use the imperial system. It is commonly used for measuring tire pressure, fuel pressure, and in industrial and residential water systems.
