How to Convert Kilopascals to PSI
To convert kilopascals to psi, divide the value by 6.8948.
The Formula
PSI = Kilopascals ÷ 6.8948
Key Fact
1 pound per square inch = 6.8948 kilopascals
Tip: To convert psi back to kilopascals, multiply by 6.8948.

kPa
psi
1 kPa = 0.145 psi
Full precision:0.14503768 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 = 0.145 psi
So 1 kilopascals = 0.145 psi.
Quick check: 0.145 × 6.8948 = 1 kilopascals
Example Conversions
Example 1: 1 kPa = 0.145 psi
1 ÷ 6.8948 = 0.145
1 ÷ 6.8948 = 0.145
Example 2: 5 kPa = 0.7252 psi
5 ÷ 6.8948 = 0.7252
5 ÷ 6.8948 = 0.7252
Example 3: 10 kPa = 1.4504 psi
10 ÷ 6.8948 = 1.4504
10 ÷ 6.8948 = 1.4504
