This calculator allows you to convert pressure values from converting pounds per square inch (psi) to kilograms per square centimeter (kg/cm²):
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.
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.
Formula for Psi to kg/cm² Conversion:
Pressure in kg/cm² = Pressure in psi × 0.07030696
How to Convert Psi to kg/cm²: Example Calculation
Suppose you have a pressure of 100 psi.
- To convert it to kg/cm²: 100 × 0.07030696 = 7.030696 kg/cm²
- So, 100 psi is equal to 7.030696 kg/cm².
Quick Reference Conversion Table for Psi to kg/cm²
Here’s a quick reference table for common psi values to kg/cm²:
| Psi (pound-force per square inch) | kg/cm² (kilogram per square centimeter) |
| 1 psi | 0.07030696 kg/cm² |
| 5 psi | 0.3515348 kg/cm² |
