What does ksi stand for?

Ksi stands for kilopound per square inch, a unit of pressure equal to 1,000 pounds-force per square inch commonly used in structural engineering.

Why convert ksi to kilogram-force per square centimeter?

This conversion helps interpret pressure or stress measurements in older or regionally preferred units, especially for hydraulic systems and industrial equipment documentation.

Are ksi and kilogram-force/sq. cm SI units?

No, both are non-SI units and might be less preferred in modern contexts dominated by SI units.
