Engineers in America largely use metric day-to-day, for most circulations. Pressure/stress is one of the odd-ball situations where both Imperial & SI units are used (seemingly at random).


In what industry? In aerospace we used imperial for everything, including psi for pressure. NAS fasteners I think are all specified in imperial.
