pound per square inch to kilopascal
Please provide values below to convert pound per square inch [psi] to kilopascal [kPa], or change ↔.
pound per square inch [psi]
Definition: An imperial unit of pressure, representing the force in pounds applied to one square inch of area.
Historyandorigin: The psi unit has been used since the 19th century in the United States and the UK, particularly for mechanical and industrial applications.
CurrentUse: Common in the U.S. for measuring tire pressure, water pressure, and other mechanical systems.
funfact: Tire pressures are typically measured in psi, and most cars have tires inflated between 30-35 psi!
kilopascal [kPa]
Definition: A unit of pressure equal to 1,000 pascals, commonly used in weather and engineering.
Historyandorigin: The kilopascal is a common multiple of the pascal, introduced to handle pressure values in a more manageable range.
CurrentUse: Widely used in meteorology for atmospheric pressure and in engineering for systems under moderate pressure.
funfact: Weather reports often use kilopascals to measure atmospheric pressure, particularly in regions where the pascal is too small a unit!

How to Convert pound per square inch to kilopascal
1 pound per square inch [psi] = 0.0689475909 kilopascal [kPa]
1 kilopascal [kPa] = 14.50377 pound per square inch [psi]
we use cross multiplication method
pound per square inch [psi] → kilopascal [kPa]
1 → 0.0689475909
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*0.0689475909=1*x
by simplifying
x=0.1034213863
