FAQ

What is the conversion factor from ksi to kgf/cm²?
1 ksi equals 70.30696 kgf/cm². To convert, multiply the value in kilopounds-force per square inch by 70.30696.
How do I convert 1 ksi to kgf/cm²?
1 ksi = 70.307 kgf/cm². For any value, multiply by 70.30696.
How do I convert kgf/cm² back to ksi?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.01422334. So 1 kgf/cm² = 0.0142233 ksi.
When would I need to convert kilopound-force per square inch to kilogram-force per square centimetre?
Pressure conversions between ksi and kgf/cm² 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).
