Converting from Pound Per Square Inch (psi) to Newton per Square Meter (N/m²) 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. For example, when inflating a car tire, the pressure is often measured in psi.

What is Newton per Square Meter (N/m²)

Newton per square meter (N/m²) is the International System of Units (SI) unit for pressure. It represents the amount of force applied to an area of one square meter. This unit is widely used in scientific and engineering applications.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from psi to N/m²: 1 psi=6894.757 N/m²

To convert from N/m² to psi: 1 N/m²=0.0001450377 psi

Examples

• 5 psi is equal to 34473.79 N/m²
• 6 psi is equal to 41368.54 N/m²
• 14 psi is equal to 96526.6 N/m²

Use these conversions when working with pressures expressed in either pound per square inch or Newton per square meter. Remember that psi is commonly used in the United States, while N/m² is more prevalent in the international scientific community.
