Unit Definitions
What is a PSI (psi)?
PSI, or pounds per square inch, is a unit of pressure commonly used in the United States.
History
The PSI measurement originated during the industrial revolution, where steam engines and other machinery required precise pressure measurements. It has since become a standard unit in various fields, including automotive and engineering.
Current Use
Today, PSI is widely used for measuring tire pressures, hydraulic systems, and many other applications where pressure needs to be monitored.

The Pascal (Pa) is the SI unit of pressure, defined as one newton per square meter.
History
Named after the French mathematician and physicist Blaise Pascal, the unit was adopted in the 20th century as part of the metric system, reflecting a move towards standardization in scientific measurements.
Current Use
Pascal is commonly used in scientific research and engineering to express pressure, stress, and tensile strength, making it a fundamental unit in physics and engineering.
