Unlock the ease of converting pressure units from Megapascal (MPa) to Kip-force per square inch (ksi) with our precise conversion tool, designed to simplify your calculations.
The Megapascal (MPa) is a unit of pressure defined as one million pascals, where a pascal is the pressure exerted by a one-newton force acting on a one-square-meter area. It is widely used in material science and engineering to describe the strength of materials, such as tensile and yield strength.
Definition of Kip-force square InchA Kip-force per square inch (ksi) is a unit of pressure commonly used in the United States for measuring tensile strength, yield strength, and other material properties. It represents a force of one thousand pounds-force (kip) applied over an area of one square inch.
| Megapascal (MPa) | Kip-force per square inch (ksi) |
|---|---|
| 1 MPa | 0.145 ksi |
| 2 MPa | 0.290 ksi |
| 3 MPa | 0.435 ksi |
| 4 MPa | 0.580 ksi |
| 5 MPa | 0.725 ksi |
| 6 MPa | 0.870 ksi |
| 7 MPa | 1.015 ksi |
| 8 MPa | 1.160 ksi |
| 9 MPa | 1.305 ksi |
| 10 MPa | 1.450 ksi |
1 MPa = 0.145 ksi
1 ksi = 6.89476 MPa
Example 1:
Convert 2 MPa to ksi:
2 MPa = 2 × 0.145 ksi = 0.290 ksi
Example 2:
Convert 5 MPa to ksi:
5 MPa = 5 × 0.145 ksi = 0.725 ksi
The Megapascal to Kip-force per square inch (ksi) converter has roots in the evolution of pressure measurement. Historically, as engineering and material science progressed, the need for standardized units arose. This converter is an outcome of such standardization, enabling efficient unit conversion catering to diverse industry requirements.
