Decipascal
The decipascal (dPa) is a unit of pressure equal to one-tenth of a pascal, where 1 dPa = 0.1 Pa.
History/Origin
The decipascal was introduced as a metric unit to provide finer measurement options within the pressure unit system, though it is rarely used in practice due to the widespread adoption of the pascal.
Current Use
The decipascal is seldom used in modern applications; pressure measurements typically utilize pascals or larger units such as kilopascals. It may appear in specialized scientific contexts or educational settings for illustrative purposes.
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.
