Definitions

  • The pound per square inch is exactly 6894.757 293 Pa. UK and US tyre gauges are still marked in it.
  • The kilopascal is 1000 pascals. Tyre placards in metric countries are usually printed in kPa or bar.
  • This conversion is exact by definition. 1 psi = 6.894757293 kPa.
  • Pressure is converted through Pa.

How it works

One direction multiplies and the other divides by the same number, so nothing is lost by going back and forth.

The value passes through Pa, the unit every other pressure unit on the site is defined against, rather than a number written into this page on its own. That is why the figure here, the figure in the table above and the general pressure converter always agree.

Display precision sets a maximum number of significant figures and trims trailing zeroes, so it changes what you see and never what was calculated. The editable box always holds a plain number at full working precision, so you can carry on from either side.

Common questions this answers: how many kilopascals in a pound per square inch (6.89476), how many pounds per square inch in a kilopascal (0.145038), and what 32 psi is in kilopascals (220.632 kPa).
