What is a hectopascal?

A hectopascal (hPa) is a metric pressure unit equal to 100 pascals and is commonly used in meteorology to express air pressure.

What does kip-force per square inch measure?

Kip-force per square inch (ksi) measures pressure as a force of 1000 pounds per square inch and is used in engineering to quantify high stresses and material strengths.

Why convert from hectopascal to kip-force per square inch?

This conversion allows environmental pressure readings to be integrated into structural and materials engineering calculations where high-stress units are required.
