Conversion Formula
The conversion from kpa to psi is based on a simple formula: multiply the pressure in kpa by 0.0145038. This works because 1 kilopascal equals approximately 0.0145038 pounds per square inch. For example, 21 kpa times 0.0145038 gives the psi value.
Conversion Example
- Convert 30 kpa:
- Step 1: Take 30 kpa
- Step 2: Multiply 30 by 0.0145038
- Step 3: 30 * 0.0145038 = 0.435114 psi
- Convert 50 kpa:
- Step 1: Take 50 kpa
- Step 2: Multiply 50 by 0.0145038
- Step 3: 50 * 0.0145038 = 0.72519 psi
- Convert 100 kpa:
- Step 1: Take 100 kpa
- Step 2: Multiply 100 by 0.0145038
- Step 3: 100 * 0.0145038 = 1.45038 psi
