About the pound per square inch and the pascal

The pound per square inch

The pound per square inch (psi) is the customary US pressure unit, derived from the avoirdupois pound-force on a square inch (≈ 6,894.76 Pa exactly). It is the standard unit on US car tire-pressure stickers, scuba gauges in the US, and most plumbing specifications.

The pascal

The pascal (Pa) is the SI derived unit of pressure, defined as one newton per square meter. It is the universal unit in physics and engineering documentation. In everyday life pascals are tiny — atmospheric pressure is around 101,000 Pa — so multiples like kPa and MPa dominate practical use.
