Do other countries use PSI?

This is why in Western Europe the SI-compliant unit bar is the most widely used unit. In North America, the preferred pressure unit is “psi (pounds per square inch)”. In many Asian countries, such as India and Korea, the unit “kilogram per square centimetre (kg/cm²)” is found quite often.

Do European countries use PSI?

The pascal (Pa) or kilopascal ( kPa ) as a unit of pressure measurement is widely used throughout the world, particularly in countries which follow the metric system. (most of Europe) and in some industries is largely replacing the pounds per square inch (psi) unit. 1 kPa is equal to 0.145038 PSI.

What measurement system does Myanmar use?
