What is the conversion rate from kip-force/square inch to ksi?

1 kip-force per square inch is equal to exactly 1 ksi.

Why use ksi instead of psi for stress values?

Ksi simplifies communication by expressing high stress and strength values in thousands of pounds per square inch, which is common in structural engineering.

Are these units suitable for low-pressure measurements?

No, both units are designed for high stresses and material strength values and are less practical for very low pressures.
