kilopascal to pound per square inch
Please provide values below to convert kilopascal [kPa] to pound per square inch [psi], or change ↔.
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!
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!
