If you’re looking to convert psi (pounds per square inch) to kpa (kilopascals), you’ve come to the right place! Just make sure you know which units to use since these two units of measurement are not interchangeable.
What’s the difference between Kpa and Psi?
Kilopascal Uses whereas, PSI stands for Pounds per square inch. It is a unit of pressure or stress based on avoirdupois units. It is the pressure resulting from a force of one pound-force applied to an area of one square inch.
1 Psi equal to 6.89476 kPa
How to Convert Psi to Kpa(Kilopascal)?
1 Psi (Pounds per square inch) is equal to 6.89476 kPa (kilopascals). To convert Psi to Kpa, multiply the psi value by 6.89476 kPa.
The formula to convert from psi to kPa is:
Kpa = psi x 6.89475729
Psi to Kpa Conversion Example
Let us have a look at a few examples of conversion for better understanding:
Example 1: Convert 4 Psi to Kilopascal
Sol: We are asked to determine 4 Psi in terms of the Kilopascal. We know that,
=) 1 PSI = 6.89476 kPa
Therefore, we write:
=) 4 psi x 6.89476 = 27.57904 kpa
Example 2: Convert 122 Psi to Kilopascal
Sol: We are asked to determine 122 Psi in terms of the Kilopascal. We know that,
=) 1 PSI = 6.89476 kPa
Therefore, we write:
=) 122 psi x 6.89476 = 841.16072 kpa
