> Convert kilopascals to psi: 1 kPa = 0.145038 psi. Exact conversion factor, formula, 22-row table and worked examples, with JSON API and MCP access.

- Page id: `kpa-to-psi` · Quantity: Pressure (`pressure`, base unit Pa) · Tool: `convert_units`
- Canonical page: https://tttkmbb.com/conversion/kpa-to-psi · This document: https://tttkmbb.com/conversion/kpa-to-psi.md · JSON: https://tttkmbb.com/conversion/kpa-to-psi.json (add `?value=` for a result)

## Formula

- `1 kPa = 0.145038 psi`
- `psi = kilopascals × 0.1450377377`
- Reverse: `kilopascals = psi × 6.894757293`

The factor follows from the SI definitions of both units (NIST SP 811); values below are rounded 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

## FAQ

**How many psi are in one kilopascal?**

1 kPa = 0.145038 psi. The factor comes from the SI definitions of both units (NIST SP 811 / BIPM), so it is exact or correct to at least 10 significant figures.

**What is the formula to convert kilopascals to psi?**

Multiply the value in kilopascals by 0.1450377377: psi = kilopascals × 0.1450377377. For example, 5 kPa = 0.725189 psi.

**How do I convert psi back to kilopascals?**

Multiply by the inverse factor 6.894757293 (kilopascals = psi × 6.894757293), or use the psi-to-kilopascals page.
