Factor1 kPa = 0.0001450377 ksi
Converter
kPa
Accepts numbers or expressions, e.g. 150 + 14.7
Result
ksi
Rendered to 6 significant figures.
Formula
Formula
ksi = kPa × 0.0001450377
Multiply any value in kilopascals by 0.0001450377 to obtain the value in kilopounds-force per square inch.
Worked example

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from kPa to ksi?
1 kPa equals 0.0001450377 ksi. To convert, multiply the value in kilopascals by 0.0001450377.
How do I convert 1 kPa to ksi?
1 kPa = 0.000145038 ksi. For any value, multiply by 0.0001450377.
How do I convert ksi back to kPa?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 6894.757. So 1 ksi = 6894.76 kPa.
When would I need to convert kilopascal to kilopound-force per square inch?
Pressure conversions between kPa 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).
