PSI (Pounds per Square Inch)

PSI, or pounds per square inch, is a measurement of pressure that indicates how much force is applied over a specific area. It’s commonly used to measure tire pressure, water pressure, and other systems involving force and area. For example, if a tire has a pressure of 30 PSI, it means that each square inch of the tire’s inner surface is experiencing 30 pounds of force. Higher PSI means more pressure, while lower PSI indicates less. It’s a useful way to quantify how much force is exerted on a surface in a precise and standardized manner.
