The Conversion Formula
To convert kilopascals to psi, multiply the value by the conversion factor: 1 kPa = 0.145038 psi. For a worked example, suppose you need to convert 25 kPa to psi: 25 × 0.145038 = 3.6259 psi. To convert in the opposite direction, divide by 0.145038, or equivalently multiply by 6.8948.
About kilopascals
The kilopascal (kPa) is the practical metric unit for everyday pressure. It is widely used in countries that have fully adopted the metric system for tire pressure and engineering data. 100 kPa is conveniently close to 1 atmosphere of pressure. kilopascals are commonly used in Tire pressure (Metric countries), Building engineering, Scuba tank pressure, and Meteorology, Medical ventilators.
Standard atmospheric pressure is about 101.3 kPa.
About psi
PSI stands for 'Pounds per Square Inch'. It is the standard unit for pressure in the United States. It measures how many pounds of force are pressing on every square inch of surface. It is the unit every American driver looks for when filling their tires. psi are commonly used in Tire pressure (US), Blood pressure (rarely), Scuba tanks (US), and Industrial pumps, Paintball tanks.
A standard car tire is inflated to 30-35 psi.
When Would You Convert kilopascals to psi?
Converting between kilopascals and psi is one of the most common pressure conversions. You might need this conversion when working with international specifications, following instructions written for a different measurement system, or comparing values across different standards. Having the conversion factor (1 kPa = 0.145038 psi) memorized or bookmarked can save time in professional and everyday contexts alike.
