Discover the simplicity of converting pressure units from psi to kN/m² with Newtum's online converter tool, designed to provide accurate and instant results.
PSI, or pounds per square inch, is a unit of pressure used to quantify the force applied over a square inch area. One PSI equals the pressure resulting from a one pound-force applied to an area of one square inch.
Definition of Kilonewton square MeterA kilonewton per square meter (kN/m²) is a metric unit of pressure. It is defined as one kilonewton of force applied over an area of one square meter. This unit is widely used in engineering and construction.

| 1 PSI | 0.006895 kN/m² |
| 5 PSI | 0.034474 kN/m² |
| 10 PSI | 0.068947 kN/m² |
| 20 PSI | 0.137895 kN/m² |
| 50 PSI | 0.344737 kN/m² |
| 100 PSI | 0.689474 kN/m² |
| 200 PSI | 1.378947 kN/m² |
| 500 PSI | 3.447368 kN/m² |
| 1000 PSI | 6.894737 kN/m² |
| 2000 PSI | 13.789474 kN/m² |
1 PSI = 0.006895 kN/m²
1 kN/m² = 145.038 PSI
Example 1:
convert 15 PSI to kN/m²:
15 PSI = 15 × 0.006895 kN/m² = 0.103425 kN/m²
Example 2:
convert 50 PSI to kN/m²:
50 PSI = 50 × 0.006895 kN/m² = 0.344737 kN/m²
The Psi to Kilonewton square Meter Converter originates from the need to translate the imperial unit of pressure, PSI, commonly used in the U.S., to the metric unit, kN/m², widely accepted internationally. This conversion tool aids engineers, technicians, and students in bridging the gap between these units for various applications.
Embark on a journey of discovering the practical applications of converting PSI to kN/m² in real-world scenarios.
Example 1:
Convert 30 PSI to kN/m²:
30 PSI = 30 × 0.006895 kN/m² = 0.206850 kN/m²
Example 2:
Convert 75 PSI to kN/m²:
75 PSI = 75 × 0.006895 kN/m² = 0.517125 kN/m²
What is PSI?
PSI stands for pounds per square inch, a unit of pressure indicating the force per unit area.
How do you convert PSI to kN/m²?
To convert PSI to kN/m², multiply the PSI value by 0.006895.
Can I convert kN/m² back to PSI?
Yes, to convert kN/m² back to PSI, divide by 0.006895 or use our converter for a direct conversion.
