    1 pound per square inch (psi) ≈ 6,895 Pa; Torque 1 pound-foot ≈ 1.356 N⋅m; Insulation 1 R-value (ft 2 ⋅°F⋅h/Btu) ≈ 0.1761 R SI (K⋅m 2 /W) Various combination units are in common use; these are straightforwardly defined based on the above basic units. Sizing systems are used for various items in commerce, several of which are U.S ...

  3. 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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_measurement

    A pressure gauge reading in psi (red scale) and kPa (black scale) 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 ...

  8. Meat thermometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meat_thermometer

    A meat thermometer or cooking thermometer is a thermometer used to measure the internal temperature of meat, especially roasts and steaks, and other cooked foods. The degree of "doneness" of meat or bread correlates closely with the internal temperature, so that a thermometer reading indicates when it is cooked as desired.
