Pounds per Square Inch is a measurement of pressure, be it water, gas, or air from a pipe or put into a storage tank, etc. A basic example is that a pressure gauge on a water boiler may be set to 80psi, and a safety valve will open to allow excess pressure over the 80psi to escape.

PSI (Pressure per Square inch)
How many psi can the pressure rise without reaching the emergency pressure limit if the pressure of the emergency limit is 86 percent and the limit is 93 psi and the pressure is measured in 0.1 psi?
limit is 86% of 93 psi = 86/100 x 93 psi ≈ 79.98 psi As the psi is measured to the nearest 0.1 psi, the safe limit is a measured 79.9 psi.
What does psi mean on tire pressure?
Psi on tire pressure stands for PSI = pounds per square inch.
What is pressure in LPG bottles?
The pressure in a propane bottle depends on the temperature. Propane boils at -42 oC at atmospheric pressure. Above this temperature the pressure in the bottle would be 0 psi. then it rises in a curve with the temperature. At Zero oC the pressure would be about 55 psi., at 10 oC it would be 78 psi. and at 43.3 oC it is 204 psi. Butane has a lower pressure/temperature relationship and that is why it is used where the bottle is indoors.
