How to Convert kilopound per square inch to kilopascalkilopascal
1 ksi = 6894.76000045014 kPa
1 kPa = 0.00014503768078 ksi
Example: convert 4 ksi to kPa:
4 ksi = 4 x 6894.76000045014 = 27579.04000180056 kPa
kilopound per square inch
Definition: Kip per square inch (symbol: ksi) is a unit of pressure equal to 1,000 psi (pounds per square inch).
History/origin: The kilopound per square inch is a practical unit derived from the pound per square inch (psi) to express large pressures in a more manageable form. It simplifies calculations and reduces the number of digits needed.
Current use: ksi is used in structural engineering, material science, and other fields where large pressures or stresses are involved. It is common for describing the tensile strength and yield strength of materials such as steel and concrete.
kilopascal
Definition: The kilopascal (symbol: kPa) is a multiple of the pascal, which is the SI unit of pressure and stress. One kPa is equal to 1000 pascals.
History/origin: Like the pascal, the kilopascal's origin is tied to the development of SI units. It provides a more convenient scale for expressing pressures larger than a single pascal.
Current use: Kilopascals are widely used in engineering, construction, and meteorology for measuring air pressure, fluid pressure, and mechanical stress.
