Unit Definitions
Pascals
The pascal (symbol: Pa) is the SI unit of pressure, defined as one newton per square meter. It is named after the French mathematician and physicist Blaise Pascal.
Psi
PSI (pounds per square inch) is a unit of pressure in the imperial and US customary systems. It represents the pressure resulting from a force of one pound-force applied to an area of one square inch.
Historical Context
The pascal was adopted as the SI unit of pressure in 1971, named after Blaise Pascal who made significant contributions to the study of fluid mechanics in the 17th century. PSI has been used since the development of steam engines in the 18th century.
