How to convert PSI to Kilopascals
To convert psi to kilopascals, multiply by 6.894757. One psi equals 6.894757 kPa, and one kilopascal equals 0.145038 psi.
- Take the value in psi — for example 7.5 psi.
- Multiply by 6.894757 (the number of kilopascals in one psi).
- 7.5 × 6.894757 = 51.71068 kPa.
Quick mental estimate: Multiply the number of psi by 6.9 (within 0.1% of the exact answer).

About converting PSI to Kilopascals
PSI (psi) and Kilopascals (kPa) are both units of pressure. The exact factor is 1 psi = 6.894757 kPa, so multiply by 6.894757 to go from psi to kilopascals (or divide to go back).

Real-world pressure in psi and kilopascals
| Example | PSI | Kilopascals |
|---|---|---|
| A systolic blood pressure of 120 mmHg | 2.320415 psi | 15.9987 kPa |
| A pressure cooker's over-pressure (15 psi) | 15 psi | 103.4214 kPa |
| The standard atmosphere | 14.69595 psi | 101.325 kPa |
| A typical car tyre (32 psi) | 32 psi | 220.6322 kPa |
| An espresso machine (9 bar) | 130.534 psi | 900 kPa |
| A road-bike tyre (90 psi) | 90 psi | 620.5282 kPa |
| A scuba cylinder (200 bar) | 2,900.755 psi | 20,000 kPa |

The units
Pounds-force per square inch, about 6,894.757 Pa.
Used for: US tyre pressure, air compressors and hydraulics.
1,000 pascals.
Used for: Tyre pressure in Canada/Australia, weather and engineering.
The bar (100,000 Pa) and the standard atmosphere (101,325 Pa) are exact; psi is derived from the pound-force and the inch, so its factor is a rounded value of an exact fraction.
