Discover the ease of converting Kilopascal to psi with Newtum's reliable converter tool. Simplify your calculations and satisfy your curiosity with just a click!
A Kilopascal (kPa) is a unit of pressure defined as one thousand Pascals. The Pascal unit, symbolized as Pa, represents a force of one Newton per square meter. Therefore, one Kilopascal equates to 1,000 Newtons per square meter. It's widely used in engineering and physics to measure small amounts of pressure, such as the stress on a surface or the stress within a material.
Definition of psiPounds per square inch (psi) is a unit of pressure widely used in various countries, particularly the United States. One psi is the pressure resulting from a force of one pound-force applied to an area of one square inch. This unit is commonly utilized in numerous applications, including measuring tire pressure, gas cylinder contents, and more.
| Kilopascal (kPa) | Pounds per Square Inch (psi) |
|---|---|
| 10 kPa | 1.45 psi |
| 20 kPa | 2.90 psi |
| 30 kPa | 4.35 psi |
| 40 kPa | 5.80 psi |
| 50 kPa | 7.25 psi |
| 60 kPa | 8.70 psi |
| 70 kPa | 10.15 psi |
| 80 kPa | 11.60 psi |
| 90 kPa | 13.05 psi |
| 100 kPa | 14.50 psi |
1 kPa = 0.145038 psi
1 psi = 6.89476 kPa
Example 1:
Convert 100 kPa to psi:
100 kPa = 100 x 0.145038 psi = 14.5038 psi
Example 2:
Convert 50 kPa to psi:
50 kPa = 50 x 0.145038 psi = 7.2519 psi
A brief history of the Kilopascal to psi conversion involves the transition from using physical objects as pressure references to adopting universal units of measurement. This conversion is essential in industries that require precise pressure readings and operate across countries with different measurement systems.
Learn how the Kilopascal to psi Converter is an indispensable tool in various real-life applications.
Example 1:
To convert 85 kPa to psi, the calculation would be:
85 kPa = 85 x 0.145038 psi = 12.32823 psi
Example 2:
To convert 120 kPa to psi, the calculation would be:
120 kPa = 120 x 0.145038 psi = 17.40456 psi
