Conversion Formula
The formula to convert psi to kg/cm² multiplies the psi value by 0.070307. This works because 1 psi equals 0.070307 kilograms force per square centimeter. For example, 1500 psi times 0.070307 gives 105.4605 kg/cm², showing the pressure in kilograms per square centimeter.
Conversion Example
- Convert 1000 psi to kg:
- Multiply 1000 by 0.070307
- Result is 70.307 kg
- Step-by-step: 1000 x 0.070307 = 70.307
- Convert 2000 psi to kg:
- Multiply 2000 by 0.070307
- Result is 140.614 kg
- Step-by-step: 2000 x 0.070307 = 140.614
- Convert 500 psi to kg:
- Multiply 500 by 0.070307
- Result is 35.1535 kg
- Step-by-step: 500 x 0.070307 = 35.1535

Conversion Definitions
psi
Psi is a unit of pressure measuring pounds per square inch, indicating force applied over a square inch area, used mainly in the US for tire pressures, hydraulics, and industrial gauges. It quantifies how much force is exerted within a specific area.
kg
Kg, or kilogram-force, measures force based on the mass of one kilogram under Earth’s gravity, representing how much force gravity exerts on a kilogram mass. Used in force calculations and pressure contexts, especially outside the US.
Conversion FAQs
How does psi relate to kg/cm² in practical terms?
Psi and kg/cm² measure pressure but in different units. Psi is pounds per square inch, while kg/cm² is kilograms force per square centimeter. To convert, you multiply psi by 0.070307, which aligns the force over different area units.
Why is there a specific factor 0.070307 used in the conversion?
This factor comes from the relationships between pounds and kilograms (1 lb ≈ 0.453592 kg) and inches to centimeters (1 inch = 2.54 cm). Combining these conversions yields 0.070307 as the multiplier for psi to kg/cm².
Can I use this conversion for high-pressure measurements safely?
Yes, but for extremely high pressures or specific industrial uses, always verify with device specifications and standards. The conversion provides an approximation, and precise measurements may require calibration and context-specific adjustments.
Is the conversion valid for fluid pressure measurements?
Yes, as long as the pressure is expressed in psi, the conversion to kg/cm² applies. However, always consider the context, as fluid pressure might involve additional factors like temperature, fluid type, and measurement method.
