PSI to Kilopascal
1 psi = 6.89476 kPa
How to convert psi to kilopascal
Enter the value in psi (psi) above and the equivalent in kilopascal (kPa) updates as you type. This conversion comes up when inflating tires with a gauge in a different unit than the door-sticker spec.
Typical situations: reading weather maps (hPa/mbar) vs US forecasts (inHg); diving and scuba tank pressures (bar vs psi).
You can also convert in the other direction: Kilopascal to PSI
PSI to Kilopascal conversion table

Watch out for
- kPa, hPa, and bar are all metric but differ by factors of 100/1000; car specs are usually bar or kPa
- Absolute vs gauge pressure (psia vs psig): tire gauges read gauge pressure
