Effortlessly transform pressure units from pounds per square inch (psi) to kilopascals (kPa) with our precise conversion tool, crafted for accuracy and simplicity.
Pound-force per square inch (psi) is a unit of pressure in the Imperial system of measurement. It represents the pressure resulting from a force of one pound-force applied to an area of one square inch.
Definition of KilopascalThe kilopascal (kPa) is a unit of pressure in the International System of Units (SI). One kPa equals 1,000 pascals, and it quantifies the force exerted across one square meter.
| Pound-force per square inch (psi) | Kilopascals (kPa) |
|---|---|
| 1 psi | 6.895 kPa |
| 2 psi | 13.79 kPa |
| 5 psi | 34.474 kPa |
| 10 psi | 68.948 kPa |
| 20 psi | 137.895 kPa |
| 50 psi | 344.738 kPa |
| 100 psi | 689.476 kPa |
| 200 psi | 1378.952 kPa |
| 500 psi | 3447.38 kPa |
| 1000 psi | 6894.76 kPa |
1 psi = 6.895 kPa
1 kPa = 0.145 psi
Example 1:
convert 10 psi to kPa:
10 psi = 10 × 6.895 kPa = 68.95 kPa
Example 2:
convert 15 psi to kPa:
15 psi = 15 × 6.895 kPa = 103.425 kPa
The conversion from pound-force per square inch to kilopascals has roots in the evolution of pressure measurement, adapting from traditional imperial units to the globally recognized metric system, facilitating standardized calculations worldwide.
Discover how the psi to kPa converter facilitates numerous practical applications in daily life and industry settings.
Example 1: Convert 30 psi to kPa
