Kilopascal to PSI gauge conversion calculator

Convert Kilopascal (kPa) to PSI gauge pressure. This calculator is useful for engineers, scientists, and anyone working with pressure measurements.

Input Parameters

Calculation Results

Calculation Formula

PSI = (kPa × 0.14503773779) - 14.69594877551

Where:
PSI - Pounds per square inch (gauge pressure)
kPa - Kilopascal
The formula converts absolute pressure to gauge pressure by subtracting atmospheric pressure (14.6959 psi)

Understanding the Conversion

Kilopascal (kPa) is a unit of pressure equal to 1000 Pascals. PSI (Pounds per square inch) is another common unit of pressure. This calculator converts absolute pressure from kPa to gauge pressure in PSI by subtracting atmospheric pressure (approximately 14.6959 psi).

Example

If you have a pressure reading of 200 kPa, the conversion to PSI gauge would be:

PSI = (200 × 0.14503773779) - 14.69594877551 = 20.9075 psi

When to Use This Calculator

  • When working with pressure measurements that need to be converted between kPa and PSI.
  • Engineers and technicians working with pneumatic systems.
  • Scientists conducting experiments requiring pressure measurements.
  • For educational purposes to understand pressure unit conversions.
