1 kPa = 0.14504 psi
Full precision:0.14504 psi
Step-by-Step Solution
To convert 1 kilopascals to psi, we divide by 6.8948 because one pound per square inch equals exactly 6.8948 kilopascals.
1 pound per square inch = 6.8948 kilopascals
Since there are 6.8948 kilopascals in every pound per square inch, we divide our value by this factor:
1 ÷ 6.8948 = 0.14504 psi
So 1 kilopascals = 0.14504 psi.
Quick check: 0.14504 × 6.8948 = 1 kilopascals
Example Conversions
Example 1: 1 kPa = 0.14504 psi
1 ÷ 6.8948 = 0.14504
1 ÷ 6.8948 = 0.14504
Example 2: 5 kPa = 0.72519 psi
5 ÷ 6.8948 = 0.72519
5 ÷ 6.8948 = 0.72519
Example 3: 10 kPa = 1.4504 psi
10 ÷ 6.8948 = 1.4504
10 ÷ 6.8948 = 1.4504
