Quick Answer. KSI measures pressure and stress; it stands for kilopounds per square inch or one thousand units of pounds per square inch. It is chiefly used to express the relative pressure to vacuum as compared to atmospheric pressure.
Tensile Strength Calculator. Tensile strength is the maximum amount of force taken by a material before its failure. (i.e.,) The maximum force taken by a rope to point till it breaks is the tensile strength of the force. It is measured with units : Newtons/Millimeter Squared (N/mm2), Megapascals (MPa), KiloPascals(KPa), Pounds Per Square Inch(Psi), Thousands of Pounds Per Square Inch (Ksi).
