Formula
Formula
ksi = atm × 0.01469595
Multiply any value in standard atmospheres by 0.01469595 to obtain the value in kilopounds-force per square inch.
Worked example
Convert 100 atm to ksi.
- 01Start with 100 atm.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 100 × 0.01469595 = 1.46959 ksi.
Result100 atm = 1.46959 ksi

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from atm to ksi?
1 atm equals 0.01469595 ksi. To convert, multiply the value in standard atmospheres by 0.01469595.
How do I convert 1 atm to ksi?
1 atm = 0.0146959 ksi. For any value, multiply by 0.01469595.
How do I convert ksi back to atm?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 68.04596. So 1 ksi = 68.046 atm.
When would I need to convert standard atmosphere to kilopound-force per square inch?
Pressure conversions between atm and ksi are common when working with mixed-vendor instrumentation, when piping codes use different units to process datasheets, or when converting field readings into SI for hydraulic calculations.
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
