Conversion Formula
The formula for converting kilopascals to psi is: psi = kpa * 0.145038. This works because the conversion factor reflects the ratio between the two units’ definitions. Since 1 kpa equals 0.145038 psi, multiplying the kpa value by this factor gives the psi equivalent. For example, 7 kpa times 0.145038 results in 1.015266 psi.
Conversion Example
- Convert 10 kpa to psi:
- Step 1: Write the formula: psi = 10 * 0.145038
- Step 2: Multiply 10 by 0.145038, which equals 1.45038
- Result: 10 kpa equals approximately 1.4504 psi
- Convert 20 kpa to psi:
- Step 1: Write the formula: psi = 20 * 0.145038
- Step 2: Multiply 20 by 0.145038, which equals 2.90076
- Result: 20 kpa equals approximately 2.9008 psi
- Convert 15 kpa to psi:
- Step 1: Write the formula: psi = 15 * 0.145038
- Step 2: Multiply 15 by 0.145038, which equals 2.17557
- Result: 15 kpa equals approximately 2.1756 psi

Conversion Definitions
kpa
Kilopascal (kpa) is a metric unit measuring pressure, where 1 kpa equals 1,000 pascals, representing force per unit area. It is used in various fields like engineering and meteorology to quantify pressure levels, including atmospheric and fluid pressures.
psi
Pounds per square inch (psi) is an imperial unit of pressure indicating the force in pounds applied over one square inch area, often used in tire pressure, hydraulics, and industrial systems to measure force exerted in a localized space.
Conversion FAQs
Why is the conversion factor from kpa to psi 0.145038?
This factor is based on the relationship between the pascal and pound-force per square inch units. Since 1 pascal equals 0.000145038 pounds per square inch, multiplying kpa by this gives the psi equivalent, ensuring precise conversions between the units.
Can I use the same conversion method for other pressure units?
Yes, but each conversion depends on the specific units involved. You need to know the exact conversion factor between the units, such as bar to psi or atm to kpa. The process involves multiplying or dividing by these factors accordingly.
How accurate is the conversion from kpa to psi?
The conversion uses a fixed factor (0.145038), which is highly precise for most practical purposes. Minor variations may occur due to measurement errors or instrument calibration, but for general calculations, this value is sufficiently accurate.
