Kilopascals to pounds per square inch
Type a value in kPa to get it in psi instantly.
Nothing on our list is smaller: a vacuum cleaner is 2× higher. Spread over a fingertip, that is like resting 0.102 kg on it.
Convert the other way: psi to kPa
What it means
How much pressure is that?
Tyre and tank figures are gauge pressure, measured above the surrounding air. Weather and altitude figures are absolute.
The math
How to convert kPa to psi
To convert kilopascals to pounds per square inch, multiply by 0.145038.
Example: 10 kPa × 0.145038 = 1.45038 psi.
In the other direction, 1 psi = 6.89476 kPa.

About these units
Kilopascals (kPa)
A kilopascal is 1,000 pascals. Car tyres run at roughly 220 kPa, and standard air pressure is 101.3 kPa.
Pounds per square inch (psi)
One psi is one pound of force on one square inch, about 6,895 pascals. US tyre gauges, compressors and plumbing all read in psi.
