Discover the ease of converting GPa to ksi with Newtum's intuitive Gigapascal to Ksi Converter. Simplify your calculations and spark your curiosity.
A gigapascal (GPa) is a unit of pressure within the metric system, equivalent to one billion pascals. One pascal is the pressure of one newton per square meter. The gigapascal is often used in materials science and engineering to express the stiffness or tensile strength of materials, where immense pressures are common.
Definition of KsiKsi is a unit of pressure in the Imperial system, representing a thousand pounds per square inch. It is widely used in materials engineering and construction to describe tensile strengths, yield strengths, and material stresses in the United States, where the Imperial system is prevalent.
| Gigapascal (GPa) | Ksi |
|---|---|
| 0.01 GPa | 1.45 ksi |
| 0.1 GPa | 14.5 ksi |
| 1 GPa | 145 ksi |
| 2 GPa | 290 ksi |
| 3 GPa | 435 ksi |
| 4 GPa | 580 ksi |
| 5 GPa | 725 ksi |
| 10 GPa | 1450 ksi |
| 20 GPa | 2900 ksi |
| 50 GPa | 7250 ksi |
1 GPa = 145 ksi
1 ksi = 0.00689655 GPa
Example 1:
convert 2 GPa to ksi:
2 GPa = 2 × 145 ksi = 290 ksi
Example 2:
convert 7.5 GPa to ksi:
7.5 GPa = 7.5 × 145 ksi = 1087.5 ksi
The conversion between gigapascals and ksi has been crucial in fields that require precise pressure measurements. These units have facilitated communication and comparison of material properties, particularly in international settings where different systems of measurement are in use.
Harness the power of the Gigapascal to Ksi Converter to apply precise pressure unit conversions in diverse real-world scenarios.
Example 1:
Convert 3 GPa to ksi:
3 GPa = 3 * 145 ksi = 435 ksi
Example 2:
Convert 8 GPa to ksi:
8 GPa = 8 * 145 ksi = 1160 ksi
