Pieze (pz)
Pieze (pz) :
A metric unit of pressure, part of the "metre-tonne-second" system sometimes used by European engineers. The pieze is a pressure of one sthene per square meter, or 1000 newtons per square meter, or one kilopascal. This is not such a large pressure; one pieze equals 10 millibars or about 0.145 pound per square inch. The name of the unit comes from the Greek piezein, to press. The unit, spelled pièze in French, is pronounced "pee-ezz" in English
