PSI Definition: PSI is a unit of pressure expressed in pounds of force per square inch of area. It stands for Pounds per Square Inch. 1 PSI = 6894 Pascals = 0.070 atmospheres = 51.715 torr. Up Next. Up Next.
When the total pressure is considered, as in chemical analysis and in thermodynamics it is often referred to as psia or absolute pressure of the substance or of the fluid which would then include the atmospheric pressure. It is important to include the subscript g or a to define which pressure is being noted. Psi can also be the difference between two pressures, be they gage or absolute. Psi is also used in materials engineering referring to the unit stress caused when a load is imposed on a structure or on a part.
