The conversion of 13 psi equals approximately 89.586 kpa.
This is because 1 psi equals exactly 6.89476 kilopascals. To find out how many kilopascals are in 13 psi, multiply 13 by 6.89476, resulting in the conversion result.
Introduction to psi and kpa
Psi (pounds per square inch) is a pressure measurement originating from the imperial system, used mainly in the United States for measuring pressure in tires, tanks, and other systems. Kilopascals (kpa) belong to the metric system and are a standard in scientific and international contexts, indicating pressure as force per unit area.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert psi to kpa multiplies the psi value by 6.89476, because 1 psi equals 6.89476 kpa. This works because pressure units are related through this constant. For example, to convert 13 psi:
- Start with 13 psi.
- Multiply 13 by 6.89476.
- 13 * 6.89476 = 89.63288 kpa.
- Result: approximately 89.6329 kpa.
Conversion Example
- Convert 20 psi to kpa:
- 20 * 6.89476 = 137.8952 kpa.
- Convert 5 psi to kpa:
- 5 * 6.89476 = 34.4738 kpa.
- Convert 0 psi to kpa:
- 0 * 6.89476 = 0 kpa.
- Convert 50 psi to kpa:
- 50 * 6.89476 = 344.738 kpa.
- Convert 100 psi to kpa:
- 100 * 6.89476 = 689.476 kpa.

Conversion Definitions
psi
Psi, or pounds per square inch, measures pressure as the force exerted by one pound-force applied over an area of one square inch. It is used in the imperial system, especially for tire pressure, hydraulics, and industrial applications.
kpa
Kilopascal is a metric unit of pressure equal to 1,000 newtons per square meter. It is a standard measurement in science and engineering to quantify force per unit area, commonly used in weather reports, tire pressures, and fluid dynamics.
Conversion FAQs
What is the easiest way to convert 13 psi to kpa?
The simplest way is to multiply 13 by 6.89476, the constant that relates psi to kpa, giving about 89.586 kpa. Using an online calculator or a conversion tool can make this process faster and more accurate.
Why does psi convert to kpa by multiplying with 6.89476?
This is because 1 psi equals exactly 6.89476 kpa based on their definitions. The conversion factor derives from the relationship between pounds-force, square inches, and the metric units of force and pressure.
Can I use this conversion for other pressure units?
No, this specific factor only applies to psi and kpa. Different units like bar, atm, or Torr have their own conversion factors. Always use the correct factor for each pair of units to avoid inaccuracies.
