    How to Convert Kilopascal to psi

    • 1 kPa = 0.1450377377 psi
    • 1 psi = 6.894757293 kPa
    • Example: convert 15 kPa to psi: 15 kPa = 15 × 0.1450377377 psi = 2.175566066 psi

    Formula

    psi = kPa × 0.1450377377302

    or psi = kPa ÷ 6.894757293168

    Derivation from SI units:

    • 1 kPa = 10³ Pa
    • 1 psi = 1 lbf/in² = (0.45359237 kg × 9.80665 m/s²) ÷ (0.0254 m)² = 6894.757293168 Pa
    • 1 kPa = 1000 Pa ÷ 6894.757293168 Pa per psi = 0.1450377377302 psi

    Both units are defined exactly, so the factor is exact. Kilopascal definition: kilopascal; psi definition: psi.

    Worked examples

    1. A car tyre at 220 kPa is at 31.9083023 psi.
      220 kPa × 0.1450377377 = 31.9083023 psi
    2. Standard atmospheric pressure, 101.325 kPa, is 14.69594878 psi.
      101.325 kPa × 0.1450377377 = 14.69594878 psi

    Where it's used

    Tyre, gas and pump pressures are given in kPa in metric countries and in psi in the United States. Converting kPa to psi is common with imported equipment and service manuals.

    Frequently asked questions

    What is a quick way to convert kPa to psi?

    Multiply by 0.145 (or divide by 6.895): 200 kPa ≈ 29.01 psi.

    How many psi are in 1 kilopascal?

    1 kPa = 0.1450377377 psi.

    How do I convert kilopascals to psi?

    Multiply the value in kPa by 0.1450377377, or divide it by 6.894757293. For example, 15 kPa × 0.1450377377 = 2.175566066 psi.

    Is the kPa to psi conversion exact?

    Yes. Both units are defined exactly, so the ratio is exact; its decimal form does not terminate and is shown here to 10 significant figures (more with the precision selector).
