About this conversion

This Koverts page converts pounds per square inch (psi) to kilopascals (kPa) — common for tire pressure, HVAC, and industrial gauges across metric and US tooling.

PSI (pounds per square inch) expresses pressure as force per area in the US customary system. It appears on tire sidewalls, shop air compressors, and many US datasheets.

The kilopascal (kPa) is one thousand pascals and is widely used in metric countries for tire placards, building codes, and scientific pressure.

Typical uses

  • Matching tire pressure between psi gauge and kPa placard
  • Converting HVAC and duct pressure readings
  • Comparing hydraulic and shop air specifications
  • Science lab conversions from US equipment manuals
FormulakPa = psi × 6.89476

Common reference values

  • 30 psi = 206.8428 kPa
  • 32 psi = 220.63232 kPa
  • 35 psi = 241.3166 kPa
  • 100 psi = 689.476 kPa

Tip: Multiply psi by about 6.895 to get kPa. So 32 psi × 6.895 ≈ 220.6 kPa.

Did you know? Standard atmospheric pressure is about 14.696 psi — roughly 101.3 kPa — which is why “one atmosphere” shows up in both unit systems.

Educational reference - always verify critical measurements (medical, engineering, legal) with primary sources.

How to convert

PSI (psi)Kilopascal (kPa)

To convert from PSI (psi) (psi) to Kilopascal (kPa) (kPa),multiply your value by 6.89476.

kPa = psi × 6.89476

For example,10 psi = 68.9476 kPa.

// Frequently Asked Questions

Is tire pressure “cold” or “hot” when people quote psi?
Vehicle placards usually specify cold inflation pressure (after the car has been parked for hours). Driving heats the tire and raises pressure temporarily — always follow the manufacturer’s label and check when cold for consistency.
Why do I see both bar and kPa on some gauges?
Bar is exactly 100 kPa (by definition), so dual scales help technicians who switch between workshop habits and metric documentation. Convert psi to kPa here, then divide by 100 if you need bar.
How many kPa is 1 psi?
1 psi ≈ 6.894757 kPa (more precisely, 1 psi = 6894.757293168 Pa, and 1 kPa = 1000 Pa). Multiply psi by about 6.895 to convert to kPa.
What is 1 psi in kPa?
1 psi = 6.89476 kPa.
How is the conversion calculated?
kPa = psi × 6.89476.
