What does ksi measure?

Ksi measures pressure or engineering stress, specifically kilopounds per square inch, commonly used for material strength.

Why is inch water specified at 60°F?

Because water density changes with temperature, specifying 60°F ensures consistent pressure measurement for inch water units.

In which fields is this conversion most useful?

This conversion is valuable in structural engineering, HVAC system design, gas regulation, and environmental control.
