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.
Definition - What does Tensile Strength mean? Tensile strength is the ability of a material to withstand a pulling (tensile) force. It is customarily measured in units of force per cross-sectional area. This is an important concept in engineering, especially in the fields of material science, mechanical engineering and structural engineering. The ability to resist breaking under tensile stress is one of the most important and widely measured properties of materials used in structural applications.
