How to Convert psi to Kilogram-force per Square Centimetre
- 1 psi = 0.07030695796 kgf/cm²
- 1 kgf/cm² = 14.22334331 psi
- Example: convert 32 psi to kgf/cm²: 32 psi = 32 × 0.07030695796 kgf/cm² = 2.249822655 kgf/cm²
Formula
kgf/cm² = psi × 0.07030695796392
or kgf/cm² = psi ÷ 14.22334330712
Derivation from SI units:
- 1 psi = 1 lbf/in² = (0.45359237 kg × 9.80665 m/s²) ÷ (0.0254 m)² = 6894.757293168 Pa
- 1 kgf/cm² = 9.80665 N ÷ 10⁻⁴ m² = 98 066.5 Pa (exact), also called the technical atmosphere (at)
- 1 psi = 6894.757293168 Pa ÷ 98066.5 Pa per kgf/cm² = 0.07030695796392 kgf/cm²
Both units are defined exactly, so the factor is exact. psi definition: psi; Kilogram-force per Square Centimetre definition: kilogram-force per square centimetre.
Worked examples
- A tyre at 32 psi is 2.249822655 kgf/cm².
32 psi × 0.07030695796 = 2.249822655 kgf/cm² - An air system at 100 psi is 7.030695796 kgf/cm².
100 psi × 0.07030695796 = 7.030695796 kgf/cm²
