The conversion in SI units is 1 ksi = 6.895 MPa, or 1 MPa = 0.145 ksi. The megapound per square inch (Mpsi) is another multiple equal to a million psi. It is used in mechanics for the elastic modulus of materials, especially for metals. [5] The conversion in SI units is 1 Mpsi = 6.895 GPa, or 1 GPa = 0.145 Mpsi.
Percy Williams Bridgman received a Nobel Prize in 1946 for advancing this area of physics by two magnitudes of pressure (400 MPa to 40 GPa). The list of founding fathers of this field includes also the names of Harry George Drickamer, Tracy Hall, Francis P. Bundy, Leonid F. Vereschagin [], and Sergey M. Stishov [].

To convert the Vickers hardness number to SI units the hardness number in kilograms-force per square millimeter (kgf/mm 2) has to be multiplied with the standard gravity, , to get the hardness in MPa (N/mm 2) and furthermore divided by 1000 to get the hardness in GPa.
