ksi is a hybrid term taking the SI prefix kilo (1000) and sticking it onto the imperial pounds force per square inch. One of the properties of a metal is its Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS) e.g. the UTS of mild steel is 470 MPa. 1 megapascal (MPa) = 1 newton per square metre. From the UTS of a metal, you can calculate the force required to break it, which enables you to design a product to survuve a given load.
For example, a tensile strength of a steel that can withstand 40,000 pounds of force per square inch may be expressed as 40,000 PSI or 40 KSI (with K being the denominator for thousands of pounds). The tensile strength of steel may also be shown in MPa, or megapascal.he tensile strength of an alloy is most commonly measured by placing a test piece in the jaws of a tensile machine. The tensile machine applies stretching stress by gradually separating the jaws.
