How to Convert Kilogram-force per Square Centimetre to psi
- 1 kgf/cm² = 14.22334331 psi
- 1 psi = 0.07030695796 kgf/cm²
- Example: convert 2.2 kgf/cm² to psi: 2.2 kgf/cm² = 2.2 × 14.22334331 psi = 31.29135528 psi
Formula
psi = kgf/cm² × 14.22334330712
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 psi = 1 lbf/in² = (0.45359237 kg × 9.80665 m/s²) ÷ (0.0254 m)² = 6894.757293168 Pa
- 1 kgf/cm² = 98066.5 Pa ÷ 6894.757293168 Pa per psi = 14.22334330712 psi
Both units are defined exactly, so the factor is exact. Kilogram-force per Square Centimetre definition: kilogram-force per square centimetre; psi definition: psi.
Worked examples
- A tyre at 2.2 kgf/cm² is 31.29135528 psi.
2.2 kgf/cm² × 14.22334331 = 31.29135528 psi - A gauge reading of 10 kgf/cm² is 142.2334331 psi.
10 kgf/cm² × 14.22334331 = 142.2334331 psi
