This calculator allows you to convert pressure values from converting pounds per square inch (psi) to kilopascals (kPa):
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: Kilopascal (kPa)
A kilopascal (symbol: kPa) is a unit of pressure in the metric system. It is equal to 1,000 pascals. The kilopascal is commonly used in engineering and various other fields to measure pressure.
Formula for Psi to kPa Conversion:
Pressure in kPa = Pressure in psi × 6.894757
How to Convert Psi to kPa: Example Calculation
Suppose you have a pressure of 50 psi.
- To convert it to kPa: 50 × 6.894757 = 344.73785 kPa
- So, 50 psi is equal to 344.73785 kPa.
Quick Reference Conversion Table for Psi to kPa
Here’s a quick reference table for common psi values to kPa:
