= in units of MPa, where HV is the Vickers hardness in N/mm 2 (or MPa) (i.e., 9.81 x numerical HV), P is the indentation load in N (typically 30 kgf is used) and T is the total crack length (mm) after application of the indenter.
If HV is first expressed in N/mm 2 (MPa), or otherwise by converting from kgf/mm 2, then the tensile strength (in MPa) of the material can be approximated as σ u ≈ HV/ c, where c is a constant determined by yield strength, Poisson's ratio, work-hardening exponent and geometrical factors – usually ranging between 2 and 4.

The unit, named after Blaise Pascal, is an SI coherent derived unit defined as one newton per square metre (N/m 2). [1] It is also equivalent to 10 barye (10 Ba) in the CGS system. Common multiple units of the pascal are the hectopascal (1 hPa = 100 Pa), which is equal to one millibar , and the kilopascal (1 kPa = 1000 Pa), which is equal to ...
The barye (Ba) is a unit of pressure equal to 1 dyn⋅cm −2 (100 mPa). The erg (erg) is a unit of energy equal to 1 dyn⋅cm (100 nJ). [3] The poise (P) is a unit of dynamic viscosity equal to 1 Ba⋅s (100 mPa⋅s). [3] The stokes (St) is a unit of kinematic viscosity equal to 1 cm 2 ⋅s −1 (100 mm 2 ⋅s −1). [3]
In the International System of Units (SI), the unit is the pascal (Pa) (or a multiple thereof, often megapascals (MPa), using the SI prefix mega); or, equivalently to pascals, newtons per square metre (N/m 2). A United States customary unit is pounds per square inch (lb/in 2 or psi). Kilopounds per square inch (ksi, or sometimes kpsi) is equal ...
The SI unit, pascal, is sometimes used instead: 1 kg f ⋅mm −2 = 9.80665 MPa. The test was developed by Frederick Knoop [2] and colleagues at the National Bureau of Standards (now NIST) of the United States in 1939, and is defined by the ASTM E384 standard.
The USRA 2-8-8-2's were designed with 25-by-32-inch (640 mm × 810 mm) high-pressure cylinders, 36-by-32-inch (910 mm × 810 mm) low-pressure cylinders, 57-inch (1,400 mm) diameter driving wheels, and a working boiler pressure of 240 psi (1.7 MPa), and they were able to generate a tractive effort of 106,000 lbf (471.51 kN) with compound expansion.
