The Pascal unit is named after Blaise Pascal, a French mathematician, physicist, and philosopher. Kilopascals (kPa) are the standard unit of pressure in countries that use the International System of Units (SI units). In academia, kilopascals are used in chemistry, engineering, hydraulics, physics, and geophysics. You will encounter kPa in everyday life when taking a tire pressure, checking water pressure, measuring air pressure, and inspecting pressure tanks.

In countries that use the imperial system of measurement or the United States customary system of units, psi is the preferred unit of pressure. Pounds per square inch, abbreviated as psi, is a unit of pressure. The definition of psi is the pressure resulting from one pound-force applied to an area of one square inch. Psi is a non-SI unit, while Pascals (Pa) is a SI unit. You will typically encounter psi pressure readings in tire pressure measurements, pump pressure, fuel storage, hydraulics, non-SI industrial applications, and in the sciences. You have two conversion options to convert kilopascals (kPa) to pounds per square inch (psi). The first option is to divide kPa by 6.8947572932, which is the number of kPa in one psi.


The second option is to multiply kPa by 0.1450377377. Both approaches will give you the correct psi value. Yes, one kilopascal (kPa) is larger than one pound per square inch (psi).
