About Pounds per Square Inch (psi)
Pounds per square inch is the most common pressure unit in the United States, used for tire pressure (typically 30-35 psi for passenger cars), air compressor ratings, and water pressure in plumbing. Fire hydrants deliver water at 40-80 psi, and scuba tank pressures reach 3,000 psi.
About Megapascal (MPa)
One million pascals, the megapascal is the standard unit for material strength specifications, including the tensile strength of steel (around 400-550 MPa) and concrete compressive strength (20-50 MPa). Hydraulic system pressures and high-pressure industrial processes are also expressed in MPa.
