This value indicates the equivalent pressure in kilograms-force per square centimeter (kg/cm²), which is a different measurement unit for pressure. The conversion helps understand pressure differences across measurement systems.
To convert psi to kg, we use the fact that 1 psi equals approximately 0.070307 kg/cm². Therefore, multiplying 70 psi by this factor gives us the pressure in kg/cm². This process involves understanding the relationship between pounds per square inch and kilograms-force per square centimeter, allowing for accurate conversions between the two units.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert psi to kg/cm² multiplies the psi value by 0.070307, because 1 psi equals approximately 0.070307 kg/cm². This works because psi measures pounds per square inch, while kg/cm² measures kilograms-force per square centimeter, which are different pressure units but related via this factor.
For example, if you have 70 psi, multiplying 70 by 0.070307 gives 4.92149 kg/cm². The calculation steps are: 70 x 0.070307 = 4.92149. This straightforward multiplication converts the pressure from imperial to metric units accurately.
Conversion Example
- Convert 50 psi to kg:
- Multiply 50 by 0.070307
- 50 x 0.070307 = 3.51535
- Result: 50 psi equals approximately 3.5154 kg
- Convert 100 psi to kg:
- Multiply 100 by 0.070307
- 100 x 0.070307 = 7.0307
- Result: 100 psi equals approximately 7.0307 kg
- Convert 25 psi to kg:
- Multiply 25 by 0.070307
- 25 x 0.070307 = 1.75768
- Result: 25 psi equals approximately 1.7577 kg
- Convert 80 psi to kg:
- Multiply 80 by 0.070307
- 80 x 0.070307 = 5.62456
- Result: 80 psi equals approximately 5.6246 kg

Conversion Definitions
psi
Psi, pounds per square inch, measures pressure based on force in pounds applied over an area of one square inch. It’s a common unit in the US for tire pressures and hydraulics, representing the amount of force exerted per unit area in imperial measurement system.
kg
Kg refers to kilograms, a metric unit of mass. When used in pressure context like kg/cm², it indicates kilograms-force per square centimeter, measuring how much force in kilograms is applied over an area. It’s a standard unit in metric systems for pressure and force.
Conversion FAQs
How precise is the conversion from psi to kg?
The conversion uses a fixed factor of approximately 0.070307, which is accurate for most practical purposes. Minor variations can occur depending on measurement standards, but for everyday calculations, this factor provides sufficiently precise results.
Why does pressure convert differently between imperial and metric units?
Because imperial and metric systems use different base units for force and area, pressure measurements are not directly interchangeable without conversion factors. The difference is rooted in the distinct definitions of pounds and kilograms-force, as well as inches and centimeters.
Can I convert other pressure units with this tool?
This specific tool is designed for psi to kg/cm² conversions. For other units like bar or pascal, additional formulas or tools are necessary. Always verify the conversion factor to ensure correct results when dealing with different pressure units.
