What does 1 Standard atmosphere represent?

It represents exactly 101,325 pascals, approximating average atmospheric pressure at sea level.

Why use kip-force per square inch in engineering?

It quantifies high stresses and material strengths commonly used in structural and materials engineering.

Can I use Standard atmosphere and kip-force/square inch interchangeably?

No, because Standard atmosphere is a general pressure reference while kip-force/square inch is meant for high-stress engineering measurements.
