    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pound_per_square_inch

    The kilopound per square inch (ksi) is a scaled unit derived from psi, equivalent to a thousand psi (1000 lbf/in 2). ksi are not widely used for gas pressures. They are mostly used in materials science, where the tensile strength of a material is measured as a large number of psi. [4] The conversion in SI units is 1 ksi = 6.895 MPa, or 1 MPa ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_measurement

    A pressure gauge reading in psi (red scale) and kPa (black scale) The SI unit for pressure is the pascal (Pa), equal to one newton per square metre (N·m −2 or kg·m −1 ·s −2). This special name for the unit was added in 1971; before that, pressure in SI was expressed in units such as N·m −2. When indicated, the zero reference is ...

    Example: For a column of fresh water of 8.33 pounds per gallon (lb/U.S. gal) standing still hydrostatically in a 21,000 feet vertical cased wellbore from top to bottom (vertical hole), the pressure gradient would be grad(P) = pressure gradient = 8.33 / 19.25 = 0.43273 psi/ft. and the hydrostatic bottom hole pressure (BHP) is then

    When the trigger is pressed the paint mixes with the compressed air stream and is released in a fine spray. [5] Types of nozzles and sprays. Due to a wide range of nozzle shapes and sizes, the consistency of the paint can be varied. The shape of the workpiece and the desired paint consistency and pattern are important factors when choosing a ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hegman_gauge

    The paint fills the grooves, and the location where a regular, significant "pepperyness" in the appearance of the coating appears, marks the coarsest-ground dispersed particles. [3] This is the point where oversized particles start to appear in high density and determines the rating for that material. [ 4 ]

  9. Pressure-sensitive paint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure-sensitive_paint

    Pressure-sensitive paint (PSP) is a method for measuring air pressure or local oxygen concentration, usually in aerodynamic settings. PSP is paint-like coating which fluoresces under a specific illumination wavelength in differing intensities depending on the external air pressure being applied locally to its surface.
