A stress or pressure of 1 N/m2 is called 1 Pascal (Pa). Pascals are very small so it is quite common to find data listed with units of MPa (MegaPascal = 106 x Pa) .In the English (British Engineering) system, force has units of pounds-force (1bf) so stress has units of lbf/in2, usually abbreviated psi. ................
