This calculator allows you to convert pressure values from converting kilograms per square centimeter (kg/cm²) to pounds per square inch (psi):
Definition: Kilogram per Square Centimeter (kg/cm²)
A kilogram per square centimeter (symbol: kg/cm²) is a unit of pressure where one kilogram-force is applied over an area of one square centimeter. This unit is commonly used in fields such as material science and engineering.
Definition: Pound-force per Square Inch (psi)
A pound-force per square inch (symbol: psi) is a unit of pressure used in the imperial and US customary systems. It represents the pressure resulting from a force of one pound-force applied over an area of one square inch.
Formula for kg/cm² to Psi Conversion:
Pressure in psi = Pressure in kg/cm² × 14.2233
How to Convert kg/cm² to Psi: Example Calculation
Suppose you have a pressure of 2 kg/cm².
- To convert it to psi: 2 × 14.2233 = 28.4466 psi
- So, 2 kg/cm² is equal to 28.4466 psi.
Quick Reference Conversion Table for kg/cm² to Psi
Here’s a quick reference table for common kg/cm² values to psi:
