🔩 kPa → psi Conversion
Translate metric pressure measurements into imperial psi.
Essential for automotive tire pressures, hydraulic equipment, and HVAC systems that read in kPa but publish specs in psi.
275 kPa equals
39.88538 psi
Bar: 2.75
kgf/cm²: 2.80422
How to Use This Calculator
Enter kPa
Provide the pressure in kilopascals from your gauge or datasheet.
Review psi
The converter multiplies by 0.145038 to output psi.
Check alternate units
Bar and kgf/cm² help align with international and legacy specifications.
Formula
psi = kPa × 0.145038
bar = kPa ÷ 100
kgf/cm² = kPa ÷ 98.0665
Use the formula breakdown to confirm the calculation logic or perform the conversion manually if needed.
Full Description
Equipment manuals and safety standards still rely heavily on psi. This converter ensures your metric readings align with those requirements without manual calculation errors.
Additional outputs facilitate cross-referencing with international standards and older technical documents.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I convert psi back to kPa?
Multiply psi by 6.89476, or use the kPa converter to access the inverse.
Does it support decimals?
Yes. Decimal kPa values convert smoothly into fractional psi.
What about gauge vs absolute?
The converter handles numerical values only; account for atmospheric offsets separately if needed.
Is rounding applied?
Results display with standard engineering precision, but formatting can be adjusted in code.
