Therefore, 1 PSI is measured as one [[pound]] of force applied per one square inch.<ref name = oxford>A. Atkins and M. Escudier, A dictionary of mechanical engineering. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2013.</ref> Since it is acting on a much smaller area than the [[pascal]], 1 PSI is much more pressure than 1 pascal (metric unit). PSI is a non-[SI] unit, British unit that is now obsolete.<ref name = oxford />

	PSI ~~are~~ often used for [[tire pressure]] and other situations where [[gauge pressure]] is being measured instead of [[absolute pressure]].		Sometimes, PSI is specified on whether it is measuring [[gauge pressure\|gauge]], [[absolute pressure\|absolute]], or differential pressure.<ref>C. Schaschke, Dictionary of Chemical Engineering, A. Oxford University Press, USA, 2014.</ref>

			*'''Psia''': when pressure is measured with respect to [[vacuum]]. This is known as [[absolute pressure]].
			*'''[[Psig]]''': when pressure is measured with respect to [[atmospheric pressure]]. This is known as [[gauge pressure]].

			*'''Psid''': when the difference of pressure is measured between two points in the environment. This is known as differential pressure.

			PSI is often used for [[tire pressure]] and other situations where [[gauge pressure]] is being measured instead of [[absolute pressure]].
