How to Convert ksi to Kilogram-force per Square Centimetre
- 1 ksi = 70.30695796 kgf/cm²
- 1 kgf/cm² = 0.01422334331 ksi
- Example: convert 15 ksi to kgf/cm²: 15 ksi = 15 × 70.30695796 kgf/cm² = 1054.604369 kgf/cm²
Formula
kgf/cm² = ksi × 70.30695796392
Derivation from SI units:
- 1 ksi = 1000 psi = 1 kip/in² = 6.894757293168 MPa
- 1 kgf/cm² = 9.80665 N ÷ 10⁻⁴ m² = 98 066.5 Pa (exact), also called the technical atmosphere (at)
- 1 ksi = 6894757.293168 Pa ÷ 98066.5 Pa per kgf/cm² = 70.30695796392 kgf/cm²
Both units are defined exactly, so the factor is exact. ksi definition: ksi; Kilogram-force per Square Centimetre definition: kilogram-force per square centimetre.
Worked examples
- A reading of 20 ksi converts to 1406.139159 kgf/cm².
20 ksi × 70.30695796 = 1406.139159 kgf/cm² - A value of 65 ksi is 4569.952268 kgf/cm².
65 ksi × 70.30695796 = 4569.952268 kgf/cm²
