Converting 14 psi to kpa results in approximately 96.52 kpa.
Since 1 psi equals approximately 6.89476 kpa, multiplying 14 by this factor gives the conversion. This calculation transforms the pressure measurement from pounds per square inch to kilopascals, a standard metric unit used in many countries and scientific contexts.
Conversion Result and Explanation
14 psi is equal to 96.52 kpa. To get this value, you multiply 14 by 6.89476, which is the conversion factor from psi to kpa. This means that every psi is equivalent to about 6.89476 kpa, and multiplying gives the total pressure in kpa.

Conversion Formula
The conversion from psi to kpa relies on the fact that 1 psi equals approximately 6.89476 kpa. This works because psi is a unit of pressure in pounds per square inch, while kpa measures pressure in kilopascals, which are metric units. The formula is: Pressure in kpa = Pressure in psi * 6.89476. For example, converting 10 psi: 10 * 6.89476 = 68.9476 kpa. This formula works because it directly applies the known conversion factor, ensuring precise translation of pressure values between these two measurement systems.
Conversion Example
- Convert 20 psi to kpa:
- Step 1: Write the formula: 20 * 6.89476
- Step 2: Multiply: 20 * 6.89476 = 137.8952
- Step 3: Result is 137.8952 kpa
- Convert 5 psi to kpa:
- Step 1: Use the formula: 5 * 6.89476
- Step 2: Multiply: 5 * 6.89476 = 34.4738
- Step 3: Result is 34.4738 kpa
- Convert 50 psi to kpa:
- Step 1: Write the formula: 50 * 6.89476
- Step 2: Multiply: 50 * 6.89476 = 344.738
- Step 3: The result is 344.738 kpa
- Convert 100 psi to kpa:
- Step 1: Use the formula: 100 * 6.89476
- Step 2: Multiply: 100 * 6.89476 = 689.476
- Step 3: The answer is 689.476 kpa

Conversion Definitions
Psi
Psi, pounds per square inch, measures pressure by indicating how many pounds of force are applied on one square inch. It’s used mainly in the United States for tire pressure, hydraulics, and other pressure-related measurements in imperial units.
Kpa
Kilopascal, abbreviated as kpa, is a metric pressure unit equal to 1,000 pascals. It’s widely used in science, engineering, and weather reporting worldwide to express pressure, especially in contexts like weather forecasts and industrial measurements.
