Converting from Pound Per Square Inch (psi) to Kilopascal (kPa) in Pressure

What is Pound Per Square Inch (psi)

Pound per square inch (psi) is a unit of pressure commonly used in the United States. It represents the amount of force applied to an area of one square inch.

What is Kilopascal (kPa)

Kilopascal (kPa) is a metric unit of pressure used in most countries around the world. One kilopascal is equal to one thousand pascals, where a pascal is the SI unit of pressure.
