Conversion Definitions
Psi (pound per square inch) is a pressure unit measuring force per area, commonly used in the US for tire pressures and other applications. It expresses how many pounds of force are exerted on one square inch of surface.
Kpa (kilopascal) is a pressure measurement in the metric system, where 1 kpa equals 1000 pascals. It is used worldwide in science and engineering to quantify force per unit area, especially in atmospheric and industrial contexts.
