What is a kilopascal?
The “kilopascal” is a common unit of pressure and is equivalent to 1,000 pascals. The pascal is named after the French mathematician Blaise Pascal.
Converting kilopascals to PSI
A kilopascal (kPa) is equivalent to around 0.145 pounds per square inch (PSI).
kPa x 0.145 = PSI
Converting PSI to Kilopascals
PSI / 0.145 = kPa
