    0.82 MPa 120–290 psi Pressure used in boilers of steam locomotives [citation needed] 1.1 MPa 162 psi Pressure of an average human bite [citation needed] 2.88.3 MPa 400–1,200 psi Pressure of carbon dioxide propellant in a paintball gun [64] 5 MPa 700 psi Water pressure of the output of a coin-operated car wash spray nozzle [58] 5 MPa ...

  3. Vickers hardness test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vickers_hardness_test

    The corresponding unit of HV is then the kilogram-force per square millimeter (kgf/mm 2) or HV number. In the above equation, F could be in N and d in mm, giving HV in the SI unit of MPa. To calculate Vickers hardness number (VHN) using SI units one needs to convert the force applied from newtons to kilogram-force by dividing by 9.806 65 ...

  4. Pascal (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal_(unit)

    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 ...

  5. Brinell scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brinell_scale

    If Meyer's index is greater than 2.2, then the ratio increases. [1] The Brinell hardness is designated by the most commonly used test standards (ASTM E10-14 [2] and ISO 6506–1:2005) as HBW (H from hardness, B from brinell and W from the material of the indenter, tungsten (wolfram) carbide). In former standards HB or HBS were used to refer to ...

  6. Pound per square inch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pound_per_square_inch

    The pound per square inch (abbreviation: psi) or, more accurately, pound-force per square inch (symbol: lbf/in2), [1] is a unit of measurement of pressure or of stress based on avoirdupois units. It is the pressure resulting from a force with magnitude of one pound-force applied to an area of one square inch. In SI units, 1 psi is approximately ...

  7. Atmospheric pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_pressure

    The standard atmosphere (symbol: atm) is a unit of pressure defined as 101,325 Pa (1,013.25 hPa), which is equivalent to 1,013.25 millibars, [ 1 ] 760 mm Hg, 29.9212 inches Hg, or 14.696 psi. [ 2 ] The atm unit is roughly equivalent to the mean sea-level atmospheric pressure on Earth; that is, the Earth's atmospheric pressure at sea level is ...

  8. Euler's critical load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_critical_load

    Euler's critical load or Euler's buckling load is the compressive load at which a slender column will suddenly bend or buckle. It is given by the formula: [1] where. P c r {\displaystyle P_ {cr}} , Euler's critical load (longitudinal compression load on column), E {\displaystyle E} , Young's modulus of the column material, I {\displaystyle I ...

  9. Newton (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton_(unit)

    Imperial units. 0.224809 lbf. The newton (symbol: N) is the unit of force in the International System of Units (SI). It is defined as , the force which gives a mass of 1 kilogram an acceleration of 1 metre per second squared. It is named after Isaac Newton in recognition of his work on classical mechanics, specifically his second law of motion.
