  2. Pound per square inch - Wikipedia

    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 ...

  3. Ton-force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ton-force

    ≈ 1.102 3113 short tons-force [note 5] ≈ 70 931.64 poundals (pdl) [note 6] Long ton-force. The long ton-force is equal to the weight of one long ton.

    1.5 psi Pressure increase per meter of a water column [26] 10 kPa 1.5 psi Decrease in air pressure when going from Earth sea level to 1000 m elevation [citation needed] +13 kPa +1.9 psi High air pressure for human lung, measured for trumpet player making staccato high notes [48] < +16 kPa +2.3 psi

  5. Net tonnage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_tonnage

    The net tonnage calculation is based on a number of factors, one of which is the moulded draft d.The choice of the value to use for d can be complicated. For ships subject to the International Convention on Load Lines, the Summer Load Line draft is used, with the exception of cases where that is a timber load line.

  6. Ground pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_pressure

    Ground pressure of 14 kPa (2 psi) or less is recommended for fragile ecosystems like marshes. [4] Decreasing the ground pressure increases the flotation, allowing easier passage of the body over soft terrain. This is exemplified by use of equipment such as snowshoes.

  7. Standard cubic foot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_cubic_foot

    It is similarly defined as the quantity of gas contained in a cubic meter at a temperature of 15 °C (288.150 K; 59.000 °F) and a pressure of 101.325 kilopascals (1.0000 atm; 14.696 psi). [ 1 ] Converting volume units between the standard cubic foot and the standard cubic meter is not exact, as the base temperature and pressure used are ...

  8. Standard litre per minute - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_litre_per_minute

    The standard liter per minute (SLM or SLPM) is a unit of (molar or) mass flow rate of a gas at standard conditions for temperature and pressure (STP), which is most commonly practiced in the United States, whereas European practice revolves around the normal litre per minute (NLPM). [1]

  9. Compressive strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressive_strength

    The parameters (,,,) obtained from a test result can be used with these formulas to calculate the equivalent true stress ´ at failure. Specimen shape effect The graph of specimen shape effect shows how the ratio of true stress to engineering stress (σ´/σ e ) varies with the aspect ratio of the test specimen ( d o / l o {\textstyle d_{o}/l ...
