How to Convert Kilogram-force per Square Centimetre to ksi
- 1 kgf/cm² = 0.01422334331 ksi
- 1 ksi = 70.30695796 kgf/cm²
- Example: convert 15 kgf/cm² to ksi: 15 kgf/cm² = 15 × 0.01422334331 ksi = 0.2133501496 ksi
Formula
ksi = kgf/cm² × 0.01422334330712
or ksi = kgf/cm² ÷ 70.30695796392
Derivation from SI units:
- 1 kgf/cm² = 9.80665 N ÷ 10⁻⁴ m² = 98 066.5 Pa (exact), also called the technical atmosphere (at)
- 1 ksi = 1000 psi = 1 kip/in² = 6.894757293168 MPa
- 1 kgf/cm² = 98066.5 Pa ÷ 6894757.293168 Pa per ksi = 0.01422334330712 ksi
Both units are defined exactly, so the factor is exact. Kilogram-force per Square Centimetre definition: kilogram-force per square centimetre; ksi definition: ksi.
Worked examples
- A reading of 7 kgf/cm² converts to 0.09956340315 ksi.
7 kgf/cm² × 0.01422334331 = 0.09956340315 ksi - A value of 100 kgf/cm² is 1.422334331 ksi.
100 kgf/cm² × 0.01422334331 = 1.422334331 ksi

Where it's used
Kilograms-force per Square Centimetre are used for pressure gauges in India, Japan and Latin America, while ksi appear in yield and tensile strength in ASTM and ASME material specifications. Both measure pressure, stress and differential pressure (force per unit area), so the conversion is a fixed factor.
