Converting from Thousand Pounds Per Square Inch (ksi) to Foot of Mercury (ftHg)

What is Thousand Pounds Per Square Inch (ksi)

Thousand Pounds Per Square Inch (ksi) is a unit of pressure commonly used in engineering and materials science. It measures the amount of force applied over a specific area, with one ksi being equal to one thousand pounds of force per square inch.

What is Foot of Mercury (ftHg)

Foot of Mercury (ftHg) is another unit of pressure often used in meteorology and aviation. It represents the height of a column of mercury that would exert the same pressure as the force being measured.
