Conversion Formulas

The conversion from inch of water (inH₂0) to thousand pounds per square inch (ksi) can be achieved using the following formulas:

• To convert from inH₂0 to ksi:
  Pksi​=PinH2​0​×0.00003612729
• To convert from ksi to inH₂0:
  PinH2​0​=Pksi​×27679.9

Examples

1. Converting 14 inH₂0 to ksi:

   Pksi​=14×0.00003612729=0.0005057821 ksi

   • Therefore, 14 inH₂0 is equal to 0.0005057821 ksi.

2. Converting 3 ksi to inH₂0:

   PinH2​0​=3×27679.9=83039.71 inH₂0

   • Hence, 3 ksi is equivalent to 83039.71 inH₂0.

3. For 5 inH₂0:

   Pksi​=5×0.00003612729=0.0001806365 ksi

   • Consequently, 5 inH₂0 corresponds to 0.0001806365 ksi.
