Discover the ease of converting Psi to Ksi with Newtum's intuitive converter tool. Designed for accuracy, it's the go-to solution for professionals.
Psi, or pounds per square inch, is a unit of pressure used in various systems, including the imperial and US customary systems. It measures the force of one pound-force applied to an area of one square inch.
Definition of Kip-force/square inchA Kip-force per square inch (ksi) is a non-SI unit of pressure. It represents a thousand pounds-force (kip) applied over one square inch, indicating substantial stress levels in materials.
| Psi | Ksi |
|---|---|
| 10 psi | 0.01 ksi |
| 50 psi | 0.05 ksi |
| 100 psi | 0.1 ksi |
| 500 psi | 0.5 ksi |
| 1000 psi | 1 ksi |
| 1500 psi | 1.5 ksi |
| 2000 psi | 2 ksi |
| 2500 psi | 2.5 ksi |
| 3000 psi | 3 ksi |
| 3500 psi | 3.5 ksi |
1 psi = 0.001 ksi
1 ksi = 1,000 psi
Example 1:
convert 1500 psi to ksi:
1500 psi = 1500 × 0.001 ksi = 1.5 ksi
Example 2:
convert 3000 psi to ksi:
3000 psi = 3000 × 0.001 ksi = 3 ksi
The Psi to Kip-force square Inch Converter traces its origins to the need for converting pressure units in engineering and construction. Its development facilitated accurate and standardized calculations essential in structural design and analysis.
Explore the practical applications of converting Psi to Ksi, instrumental in fields requiring precision in pressure measurement.
Example 1:
To convert 200 psi to ksi, divide by 1,000:
200 psi / 1,000 = 0.2 ksi
Example 2:
To convert 5,000 psi to ksi, divide by 1,000:
5,000 psi / 1,000 = 5 ksi
