Kip-Force/square Inch
Kip-force per square inch (kipf/in^2) is a unit of pressure representing the force of one kip applied over an area of one square inch.
History/Origin
The kip-force is a unit of force used primarily in the United States, especially in engineering contexts, where it is equal to 1,000 pounds-force. The unit kip-force per square inch has been used in structural engineering to measure stress and pressure in materials and structures.
Current Use
Today, kipf/in^2 is primarily used in the United States within structural engineering and material testing to specify stress levels, though the SI unit Pascal is more common internationally.
Exapascal
An exapascal (EPa) is a unit of pressure equal to 10^18 pascals, used to measure extremely high pressures.
History/Origin
The exapascal was introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) prefixes to represent very large pressure values, primarily in scientific and engineering contexts involving high-pressure phenomena.
Current Use
The exapascal is mainly used in fields such as geophysics, astrophysics, and high-pressure physics to describe immense pressures found in planetary interiors, stellar environments, and experimental high-pressure research.
