I just came across a unit I've never seen before: ksi. It stands for kilopounds force per square inch and is used as a stress measurement (especially for metals). It turns out that 1 ksi equals about 6.9 MPa (or, more roughly, 7 MPa). Is anyone familiar with this, and in particular, how widespread its use might be? It's of interest to me, because I'm about to propose on a contract to create a Web site for a company that is very closely associated with another company that uses ksi (and only ksi) on its own site.
