pounds per square inch
Tire inflation unit
Pounds per square inch is a unit of pressure measuring how much force is applied over an area.
Abbreviated psi, it appears most often in specifications for tire pressure, water systems, and compressed gases: The recommended tire pressure is 32 psi.
Higher psi means greater pressure concentrated on each square inch of surface.
