kPa and PSI are quite comparable units of pressure. We will look into how you can easily convert kPa to PSI. Specifically, you can use our kPA to PSI calculator (insert kPa, get PSI) and conversion chart with the conversion of kPa to PSI ranging from 0.001 kPa to 1,000,000 kPa.
First of all, let’s look at what we are converting:
- kPa or kilopascal is a unit of pressure equal to 1,000 Pascals (1,000 Pa = 1 N/m2). Pascal or Pa is the pressure equal to 1 Netwon of force exerted on the surface area of 1 square meter. kPa is basically a thousand times bigger unit than Pa but it is still smaller than PSI.
- PSI or Pounds per Square Inch is a unit of pressure used in the US and UK equal to 1 pound-force being exerted on 1 square inch. PSI is several times bigger unit than kPA.
How to convert kPa to PSI?
For this conversion, you only need to know 1 rule:
1 kPA = 0.14504 PSI
Namely, 1 kPa is equal to 0.14505 PSI. To convert kPa to PSI, you only need to multiply PSI units by 0.14504.
Example: How many PSI is 800 kPa equal to? Here’s how you can calculate that:
800 kPA × 0.14504 = 116.032 PSI
As you can see, 800 kPA is equal to 116.032 PSI.
Here is the kPA to PSI calculator that makes this conversion automatically (below the calculator you will also find the kPa to PSI conversion chart):

Let’s show an example of how you can use this kilopascal to PSI conversion calculator. Example: We want to convert 350 kPA to PSI. Just insert ‘350’ and the calculator will give you the result: 350 kPa is equal to 50.764 PSI.
