  2. Pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure

    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 name for the unit was added in 1971; [7] before that, pressure in SI was expressed in newtons per square metre. Other units of pressure, such as pounds per square inch (lbf/in 2) and bar, are also in common use.

  3. Mean effective pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_effective_pressure

    In SI base units: 1 kg⋅m −1 ⋅s −2 ... Mean effective pressure calculated from in-cylinder pressure over the complete engine cycle (720° in a four-stroke, 360 ...

  4. Pressure measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_measurement

    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 stated in parentheses following the unit, for example 101 kPa (abs).

  5. Bar (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bar_(unit)

    The bar is a metric unit of pressure defined as 100,000 Pa (100 kPa), though not part of the International System of Units (SI). A pressure of 1 bar is slightly less than the current average atmospheric pressure on Earth at sea level (approximately 1.013 bar).

  6. Pascal (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal_(unit)

    The pascal (symbol: Pa) is the unit of pressure in the International System of Units (SI). It is also used to quantify internal pressure, stress, Young's modulus, and ultimate tensile strength. The unit, named after Blaise Pascal, is an SI coherent derived unit defined as one newton per square metre (N/m 2). [1]

  7. Cylinder stress - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylinder_stress

    SI units for P are pascals (Pa), while t and d=2r are in meters (m). When the vessel has closed ends, the internal pressure acts on them to develop a force along the axis of the cylinder. This is known as the axial stress and is usually less than the hoop stress.

  8. International System of Units - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_System_of_Units

    For example, the coherent derived SI unit of velocity is the metre per second, with the symbol m/s. [1]: 139 The base and coherent derived units of the SI together form a coherent system of units (the set of coherent SI units). A useful property of a coherent system is that when the numerical values of physical quantities are expressed in terms ...
