  2. Pound per square inch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pound_per_square_inch

    The pound per square inch (abbreviation: psi) or, more accurately, pound-force per square inch (symbol: lbf/in 2), [1] is a unit of measurement of pressure or of stress based on avoirdupois units and used primarily in the United States. It is the pressure resulting from a force with magnitude of one pound-force applied to an area of one square ...

  3. Pound (force) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pound_(force)

    The pound-force is the product of one avoirdupois pound (exactly 0.45359237 kg) and the standard acceleration due to gravity, approximately 32.174049 ft/s 2 (9.80665 m/s 2).

  5. Pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure

    Other units of pressure, such as pounds per square inch (lbf/in 2) and bar, are also in common use. The CGS unit of pressure is the barye (Ba), equal to 1 dyn·cm −2 , or 0.1 Pa. Pressure is sometimes expressed in grams-force or kilograms-force per square centimetre ("g/cm 2 " or "kg/cm 2 ") and the like without properly identifying the force ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Engineering_Units

    Units for other physical quantities are derived from this set as needed. In English Engineering Units, the pound-mass and the pound-force are distinct base units, and Newton's Second Law of Motion takes the form = where is the acceleration in ft/s 2 and g c = 32.174 lb·ft/(lbf·s 2).

  7. Copper units of pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_units_of_pressure

    The unit of pressure in the avoirdupois system is pound-force per square inch, while the unit of pressure in the modern SI system is pascal (equivalent to newton per square meter). A chamber pressure measured with a copper crusher gauge would therefore be expressed in psi (CUP) in the British Imperial system and United States Customary system ...

  9. Strength of materials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_of_materials

    In Imperial units, the unit of stress is given as lbf/in 2 or pounds-force per square inch. This unit is often abbreviated as psi. One thousand psi is abbreviated ksi. A factor of safety is a design criteria that an engineered component or structure must achieve.
