It's a unit. 1 KSI = 1000 PSI. It is just used to 'neaten' the numbers: 70 KSI rather than 70,000 PSI for example.

What is difference between limit of proportionality and tensile strength?

The proportional limit is the stress value at which the stress is no longer linear with strain. After that, the material will begin to yield and become non-linear, or plastic, and then it will fail at a higher value called the tensile strength. For most metals, the proportional limit is well below the tensile strength; for example annealed stainless steel has a proportional limit near 30 ksi and tensile strength of 80 ksi; aluminum has a proportional limit of 35 ksi and tensile strength of 42 ksi.

Convert tensile strength ratings from ksi to pounds?

Tensile strength is given in ksi. To get pounds you need to know the area. Pounds = strength x area. For example if the specimen is 100 ksi strength and area 1 sq inch, pounds = 100 x 1 = 100 kilopounds = 100000 pounds. f the specimen is 100 ksi strength and area 2 sq inch, pounds = 100 x 2 = 200 kilopounds = 200000 pounds. In any case strength in ksi is the same for a given material and that is why ksi is used.


Is phosphor bronze has high compressive strength?

The compressive strength of Phosphor Bronze is directly proportional to the tensile strength, For example 1/2 hard phosphor bronze has a Tensile Strength of 60 to 75 ksi and a Yield Strength of 45 to 70. For typical engineering calculations, the compressive strength can be considered equal to the yield strength.


What is meant by tensile strength in of api grade x-70 steel?

Tensile Strength is 570 MPa (i.e. 82.7 ksi) - (Ref. API 5L - Specification for line pipe - Forty Forth Edition Section 9.3.2- Table 6)


What happen if tensile strength of A36 Material exceed the ultimate tensile strength allowed by ASTM specification?

The raw steel specification A36, has a maximum tensile strength of 80 ksi. This is the same maximum strength as ASTM standards like A307 grade C or F1554 grade 36. I'm not familiar with any other specifications that would use A36 and have a higher maximum strength. The A36 steel would be out of tolerance if it exceeds a 80 ksi tensile. Being out of tolerance in this way could indicate other properties are also out of tolerance in a less favorable way. The steel would be less ductile, for instance, and impact properties might be reduced.


What is the ultimate yield strength of astm 1018 steel?

ASTM 1011 comes in many grades which determine the yield strength ie:1011 gr 42 would have a min yield of 42,000 psi


What is A36 steel?

The 36 stands for the yield strength in ksi Fty = 36 ksi = 36,000 psi


What does J-55 grade of tubing mean?

The 'J' has to do with the heat treatment of the material, and the 55 is the minimum yield strength (MYS) of the material is ksi (or thousand psi)

What does A992Fy50 steel mean?

From wikiASTM A992 steel is a structural steel alloy often used in the USA for steel wide-flange beams (previously known as I-beams). Like other carbon steels, the density of ASTM A992 steel is approximately 7850 kg/m3. ASTM A992 steel has the following minimum mechanical properties, according to ASTM specification A992/A992M. Tensile yield strength, 345 MPa (50 ksi); tensile ultimate strength, 450 MPa (65 ksi); strain to rupture (sometimes called elongation) in a 200-mm-long test specimen, 18 %; strain to rupture in a 50-mm-long test specimen, 21 %.ASTM A992 is the industry standard for all structural wide-flange beams.From the American Institute of Steel Construction: "ASTM A992 (Fy = 50 ksi, Fu = 65 ksi) is the preferred material specification for wide-flange shapes, having replaced ASTM A36 and A572 grade 50. There are a couple of noteworthy enhancements with ASTM A992. Material ductility is well defined since a maximum yield-to-tensile strength ratio of 0.85 is specified. Additionally, weldability is improved since a maximum carbon equivalent value of 0.45 (0.47 for Group 4 and 5 shapes) is required. ASTM A992 is written to cover all hot-rolled shapes.
