Kilopascals to PSI Converter
Convert metric pressure readings into pounds per square inch for HVAC, automotive, or industrial equipment specs.
Verify critical pressure conversions with official sources.
Examples
- 100 kPa ⇒ 14.50 psi, comparable to standard atmospheric pressure
- 210 kPa ⇒ 30.46 psi, common for car tire inflation
- 500 kPa ⇒ 72.52 psi, useful for hydraulic system checks
FAQ
What is a kilopascal?
A metric pressure unit equal to 1,000 pascals, or roughly the pressure of a 10-meter water column.
Can I convert gauge or absolute pressure?
Yes. Just ensure the input value and the desired output both reference the same baseline (gauge or absolute).
How precise is the conversion factor?
0.145038 is precise to six decimal places, suitable for most engineering and automotive uses.
Additional Information
- 1 kilopascal equals 0.145038 pounds per square inch.
- To reverse the conversion, divide psi by 0.145038 or multiply by 6.89476 to return to kPa.
- Always verify maximum operating pressure limits before pressurizing equipment.
