What is kPa?

The kilopascal (kPa) is a metric unit of pressure. It is derived from the pascal (Pa), the SI unit of pressure.

Key Facts About kPa:

• Exact value: 1 kPa = 1000 pascals (Pa).
• Relation to psi: 1 kPa ≈ 0.145038 psi.
• Common uses: Weather forecasting, tire pressure, industrial machinery.
• Notation: Always written in lowercase letters (kPa).

What is PSI?

Pounds per square inch (psi) is a pressure unit commonly used in the imperial system, especially in the U.S.

Key Facts About PSI:

• Exact value: 1 psi = 6,894.76 pascals (Pa).
• Relation to kPa: 1 psi ≈ 6.895 kPa.
• Common uses: Automotive, hydraulic systems, and pressure cookers.
• Notation: Written in lowercase as “psi.”
   

KPA to PSI Conversion Formula

Formula:

PSI = KPa × 0.145038

KPa to PSI Conversion Example

Example 1: 100 kPa to PSI

Step 1: Formula = PSI = kPa × 0.145038

Step 2: Substitute = 100 × 0.145038

Step 3: Result = 14.50 PSI

Example 2: 200 kPa to PSI

Step 1: PSI = kPa × 0.145038

Step 2: Substitute = 200 × 0.145038

Step 3: Result = 29.01 PSI

Example 3: 300 kPa to PSI

Step 1: PSI = kPa × 0.145038

Step 2: Substitute = 300 × 0.145038

Step 3: Result = 43.51 PSI

PSI to KPA Conversion Formula

Formula:

kPa = PSI × 6.89476

Example 1: 30 PSI to kPa

Step 1: Formula = kPa = PSI × 6.89476

Step 2: Substitute = 30 × 6.89476

Step 3: Result = 206.84 kPa

Example 2: 40 PSI to kPa

Step 1: kPa = PSI × 6.89476

Step 2: Substitute = 40 × 6.89476

Step 3: Result = 275.79 kPa

Example 3: 50 PSI to kPa

Step 1: kPa = PSI × 6.89476

Step 2: Substitute = 50 × 6.89476

Step 3: Result = 344.74 kPa

Applications of KPa and PSI Conversions

• Tire Pressure: Automobiles in Europe often use kPa, while the U.S. uses psi. Conversion ensures correct inflation levels.
• Engineering: Hydraulic and pneumatic systems may list specs in both kPa and psi.
• Weather Science: Meteorologists often record pressure in kPa but sometimes reference psi for broader audiences.
• Home Appliances: Some pressure cookers or compressors list both units.
