2 kPa equals approximately 0.2903 psi.
This conversion is made by multiplying the value in kilopascals (kPa) by 0.1450377, which is the factor to change kPa into pounds per square inch (psi). So, 2 times 0.1450377 gives the psi measurement, which provides a way to compare pressure units.
Conversion Result
The result of converting 2 kPa to psi is 0.2903 psi. This means that a pressure of 2 kilopascals is equivalent to about 0.2903 pounds per square inch.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert kPa to psi takes the pressure value in kilopascals and multiplies it by the conversion factor 0.1450377. This works because 1 kPa equals 0.1450377 psi. So, for any value in kPa, multiplying by this factor gives the psi equivalent.
For example, for 2 kPa: 2 x 0.1450377 = 0.2900754 psi. This process ensures the units are converted correctly by using the fixed ratio between the two units, which are both measurements of pressure.
Conversion Example
- Convert 5 kPa to psi:
- Multiply 5 by 0.1450377
- 5 x 0.1450377 = 0.7251885 psi
- The pressure is about 0.7252 psi
- Convert 10 kPa to psi:
- 10 x 0.1450377 = 1.450377 psi
- This equals roughly 1.4504 psi
- Convert 15 kPa to psi:
- 15 x 0.1450377 = 2.1755655 psi
- The result is approximately 2.1756 psi
- Convert 25 kPa to psi:
- 25 x 0.1450377 = 3.6259425 psi
- The pressure is about 3.6259 psi

Conversion Definitions
kPa: Kilopascal, a metric unit of pressure equal to 1000 pascals, used to measure force per unit area in scientific and engineering contexts, especially in weather, hydraulics, and tire pressure measurements.
psi: Pounds per square inch, a pressure measurement unit based on force in pounds applied over an area of one square inch, commonly used in the United States for tire pressures, hydraulics, and other pressure readings.
Conversion FAQs
Can I rely on the conversion factor 0.1450377 for all pressure measurements?
Yes, the factor 0.1450377 is a fixed ratio based on the exact definitions of kPa and psi. It applies universally for converting pressure values between these units, regardless of the pressure magnitude.
What happens if I input a negative value in the conversion tool?
Negative pressure values represent vacuum or below-atmosphere pressures. The tool will convert these values accurately, showing negative psi results, which are meaningful in certain scientific and engineering situations.
Is there a way to convert psi back to kPa using this page?
No, this tool is designed specifically for converting from kPa to psi. To reverse the process, divide the psi value by 0.1450377 to find the equivalent in kPa.
How precise is the conversion result for small pressure differences?
The conversion uses a precise factor, so results are highly accurate for most practical purposes. Minor differences may occur due to rounding, but for typical pressure measurements, the accuracy is sufficient.
