How to Convert Kilopascals to Pounds per Square Inch
To convert a measurement in kilopascals to a measurement in pounds per square inch, multiply the pressure by the following conversion ratio: 0.145038 pounds per square inch/kilopascal.
Since one kilopascal is equal to 0.145038 pounds per square inch, you can use this simple formula to convert:
pounds per square inch = kilopascals × 0.145038
The pressure in pounds per square inch is equal to the pressure in kilopascals multiplied by 0.145038.
For example, here's how to convert 5 kilopascals to pounds per square inch using the formula above.
pounds per square inch = (5 kPa × 0.145038) = 0.725189 psi
Kilopascals and pounds per square inch are both units used to measure pressure. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
What Is a Kilopascal?
The kilopascal is a multiple of the pascal, which is the SI derived unit for pressure. In the metric system, "kilo" is the prefix for thousands, or 103. Kilopascals can be abbreviated as kPa; for example, 1 kilopascal can be written as 1 kPa.

What Are Pounds per Square Inch?
One pound per square inch is the pressure of equal to one pound-force per square inch.
The pound per square inch is a US customary and imperial unit of pressure. A pound per square inch is sometimes also referred to as a pound-force per square inch. Pounds per square inch can be abbreviated as psi; for example, 1 pound per square inch can be written as 1 psi.
PSI can be expressed using the formula:
1 psi = 1 lbf / in2
Pressure in pounds per square inch are equal to the pound-force divided by the area in square inches.
