PSI to kPa Converter

Multiply psi by about 6.894757 to get kilopascals.

32 psi = 220.632233381 kPa

Convert kilopascals to pounds per square inch instead

Formula

1 psi = 6.8947572932 kPa

kilopascals = pounds per square inch × 6.8947572932

Worked example

Convert 30 pounds per square inch to kilopascals

  1. Multiply by 6.8947572932
  2. 30 × 6.8947572932 = 206.843

30 psi = 206.843 kPa

Good to know

Canada, Australia and many other countries give tire pressures in kPa: 32 psi is about 221 kPa. One psi is the force of one pound (under standard gravity) on one square inch, which works out to 6,894.757 pascals.

About these units

Pound per square inch (psi)
Pound-force per square inch, about 6,894.757 Pa. The usual unit for tire pressure in the US and UK.
Kilopascal (kPa)
1,000 pascals. Used for tire pressures in many countries and for engineering loads.
