Discover how to seamlessly transform pressure from N/cm² to psi using Newtum's dedicated conversion tool, and satisfy your curiosity about the simplicity of unit conversion.
A Newton, symbolized as N, is the International System of Units (SI) derived unit of force. It is defined as the force necessary to accelerate a one kilogram mass by one meter per second squared. This unit is named after Sir Isaac Newton in recognition of his work on classical mechanics, specifically Newton's second law of motion.
Definition of PsiPsi, or pounds per square inch, is a unit of pressure used in the imperial system. It measures the amount of force applied in pounds over one square inch of an area. This unit is widely used in various industries such as automotive, industrial equipment, and aviation to gauge pressure in tires, hydraulic systems, and fuel tanks among others.
| Newton per square centimeter (N/cm²) | Pounds per square inch (psi) |
|---|---|
| 0.1 N/cm² | 1.45038 psi |
| 0.5 N/cm² | 7.2519 psi |
| 1 N/cm² | 14.5038 psi |
| 2 N/cm² | 29.0075 psi |
| 3 N/cm² | 43.5113 psi |
| 4 N/cm² | 58.0151 psi |
| 5 N/cm² | 72.5188 psi |
| 6 N/cm² | 87.0226 psi |
| 7 N/cm² | 101.5264 psi |
| 8 N/cm² | 116.0301 psi |
| 9 N/cm² | 130.5339 psi |
| 10 N/cm² | 145.0377 psi |
1 N/cm² = 14.5038 psi
psi = N/cm² × 14.5038
Example 1:
Convert 2 N/cm² to psi:
2 N/cm² = 2 × 14.5038 psi = 29.0076 psi
Example 2:
Convert 5 N/cm² to psi:
5 N/cm² = 5 × 14.5038 psi = 72.519 psi
