  2. 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 ...

  3. Shell molding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_molding

    The pattern and shell together are placed in an oven to finish curing the sand. The shell now has a tensile strength of 350 to 450 psi (2.4 to 3.1 MPa). The hardened shell is then stripped from the pattern. Two or more shells are then combined, via clamping or gluing using a thermoset adhesive, to form a mold.

  4. Nominal Pipe Size - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nominal_Pipe_Size

    Nominal Pipe Size (NPS) is a North American set of standard sizes for pipes used for high or low pressures and temperatures. [1] " Nominal" refers to pipe in non-specific terms and identifies the diameter of the hole with a non-dimensional number (for example – 2-inch nominal steel pipe" consists of many varieties of steel pipe with the only criterion being a 2.375-inch (60.3 mm) outside ...

  5. Orders of magnitude (pressure) - Wikipedia

    1.5 psi Pressure increase per meter of a water column [26] 10 kPa 1.5 psi Decrease in air pressure when going from Earth sea level to 1000 m elevation [citation needed] +13 kPa +1.9 psi High air pressure for human lung, measured for trumpet player making staccato high notes [48] < +16 kPa +2.3 psi

  6. Specified minimum yield strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specified_Minimum_Yield...

    Specified Minimum Yield Strength (SMYS) means the specified minimum yield strength for steel pipe manufactured in accordance with a listed specification 1.This is a common term used in the oil and gas industry for steel pipe used under the jurisdiction of the United States Department of Transportation.

  7. Pressure coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_coefficient

    This assumption is commonly made in engineering practice when the Mach number is less than about 0.3. C p {\displaystyle C_{p}} of zero indicates the pressure is the same as the freestream pressure. C p {\displaystyle C_{p}} of one corresponds to the stagnation pressure and indicates a stagnation point .

  8. Dynamic pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_pressure

    q is the dynamic pressure in pascals (i.e., N/m 2, ρ (Greek letter rho) is the fluid mass density (e.g. in kg/m 3), and; u is the flow speed in m/s. It can be thought of as the fluid's kinetic energy per unit volume. For incompressible flow, the dynamic pressure of a fluid is the difference between its total pressure and static pressure.

  9. Pressure head - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_head

    So, for any particular measurement of pressure head, the height of a column of water will be about [133/9.8 = 13.6] 13.6 times taller than a column of mercury would be. So if a water column meter reads "13.6 cm H 2 O", then an equivalent measurement is "1.00 cm Hg".
