Conversion Formula

Standard Conversion

1 PSI = 6.894757 kPa (exact)

  • • kPa = PSI × 6.894757
  • • PSI = kPa ÷ 6.894757
  • • Based on exact international pressure standards

Common Applications

Automotive Tires30-35 PSI

Standard car tire pressure range

  • • 207-241 kPa equivalent
  • • Fuel efficiency
  • • Safety standard
Industrial Systems100-150 PSI

Common industrial pressure ranges

  • • 689-1034 kPa equivalent
  • • Hydraulic systems
  • • Pneumatic tools

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert PSI to kPa?
Multiply PSI by 6.894757 to get kPa. Example: 30 PSI ≈ 206.84 kPa.
How do I convert kPa to PSI?
Divide kPa by 6.894757 to get PSI. Example: 200 kPa ≈ 29.01 PSI.
How accurate is the PSI to kPa conversion?
Our converter uses the exact conversion factor (1 PSI = 6.894757 kPa) as defined by international standards. Results are accurate to 4 decimal places for PSI and 6 decimal places for kPa.
What is the difference between PSI and kPa?
PSI (pounds per square inch) is an imperial unit commonly used in the US, while kPa (kilopascals) is a metric unit. Both measure pressure but use different scales.
When should I use PSI vs kPa?
Use PSI for US specifications (tire gauges, HVAC systems, hydraulics in the US market). Use kPa for metric specifications (European automotive, industrial equipment, scientific applications).
