Converting from Megapascal (MPa) to Thousand Pounds Per Square Inch (ksi)

What is Megapascal (MPa)

Megapascal (MPa) is a metric unit of pressure commonly used to measure internal pressure. It is equivalent to one million pascals (Pa) or one newton per square millimeter.

What is Thousand Pounds Per Square Inch (ksi)

Thousand Pounds Per Square Inch (ksi) is an imperial unit of pressure often used in engineering applications to measure stress and mechanical strength. It is equal to one thousand pounds of force per square inch.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from Megapascal (MPa) to Thousand Pounds Per Square Inch (ksi), you can use the following formula:

Pressure in ksi=Pressure in MPa×0.1450377

To convert from Thousand Pounds Per Square Inch (ksi) to Megapascal (MPa), you can use the formula:

Pressure in MPa=Pressure in ksi÷6.894757

Examples

• Converting 2 MPa to ksi:

2 MPa×0.1450377=0.2900755 ksi

• Converting 8 ksi to MPa:

8 ksi÷6.894757=1.160302 MPa

• A quick conversion for reference: 1 MPa is approximately equal to 0.145 ksi, and 1 ksi is roughly equal to 6.895 MPa.

Performing conversions between these two units can be useful in various engineering and construction scenarios where pressure measurements are essential.
