How to Convert PSF to Kilopascals
To convert psf to kilopascals, divide the value by 20.8854.
The Formula
Kilopascals = PSF ÷ 20.8854
Key Fact
1 kilopascal = 20.8854 psf
Tip: To convert kilopascals back to psf, multiply by 20.8854.

1 psf = 0.04788 kPa
Full precision:0.04788 kPa
Step-by-Step Solution
To convert 1 psf to kilopascals, we divide by 20.8854 because one kilopascal equals exactly 20.8854 psf.
1 kilopascal = 20.8854 psf
Since there are 20.8854 psf in every kilopascal, we divide our value by this factor:
1 ÷ 20.8854 = 0.04788 kilopascals
So 1 psf = 0.04788 kilopascals.
Quick check: 0.04788 × 20.8854 = 1 psf
Example Conversions
Example 1: 1 psf = 0.04788 kPa
1 ÷ 20.8854 = 0.04788
1 ÷ 20.8854 = 0.04788
Example 2: 5 psf = 0.2394 kPa
5 ÷ 20.8854 = 0.2394
5 ÷ 20.8854 = 0.2394
Example 3: 10 psf = 0.4788 kPa
10 ÷ 20.8854 = 0.4788
10 ÷ 20.8854 = 0.4788
