Kilopascals to Psi (kPa to psi)

Formula

1 kPa = 0.145038 psi

psi = kilopascals × 0.1450377377 — reverse: kilopascals = psi × 6.894757293

The factor is derived from the SI definitions of both units (base unit: Pa) as listed in NIST SP 811; results on this page are shown to 6 significant figures, the API returns up to 12.

Worked examples

• 5 kPa = 0.725189 psi
• 12.5 kPa = 1.81297 psi
• 100 kPa = 14.5038 psi
