FAQ

What is the conversion factor from kgf/cm² to psi?
1 kgf/cm² equals 14.22334 psi. To convert, multiply the value in kilograms-force per square centimetre by 14.22334.
How do I convert 1 kgf/cm² to psi?
1 kgf/cm² = 14.2233 psi. For any value, multiply by 14.22334.
How do I convert psi back to kgf/cm²?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.07030696. So 1 psi = 0.070307 kgf/cm².
When would I need to convert kilogram-force per square centimetre to pound-force per square inch?
Pressure conversions between kgf/cm² and psi 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).
