Ksi, or kilopound per square inch, is a unit of pressure. It represents 1000 pounds of force per square inch and is commonly used in engineering to measure tensile strength, yield strength, and other stress-related parameters in materials.
Definition of GigapascalA gigapascal (GPa) is a unit of pressure or stress in the International System of Units (SI). It is equivalent to a billion pascals, where one pascal is the pressure of one newton per square meter. GPa is often used to express the Young's modulus of materials.
| Ksi | Gigapascal (GPa) |
|---|---|
| 1 ksi | 0.006895 GPa |
| 5 ksi | 0.034475 GPa |
| 10 ksi | 0.06895 GPa |
| 15 ksi | 0.103425 GPa |
| 20 ksi | 0.1379 GPa |
| 25 ksi | 0.172375 GPa |
| 30 ksi | 0.20685 GPa |
| 35 ksi | 0.241325 GPa |
| 40 ksi | 0.2758 GPa |
| 45 ksi | 0.310275 GPa |
1 ksi = 0.006895 GPa
1 GPa = 145.038 ksi
Example 1:
Convert 10 ksi to GPa:
10 ksi = 10 × 0.006895 GPa = 0.06895 GPa
Example 2:
Convert 50 ksi to GPa:
50 ksi = 50 × 0.006895 GPa = 0.34475 GPa
