megapascal [MPa] to kilopound per square inch [ksi] Converter

Quick Reference

1 megapascal (MPa) = 0.1450376808 kilopound per square inch (ksi)

1 kilopound per square inch (ksi) = 6.89476 megapascal (MPa)

How to Convert megapascal to kilopound per square inch

1 MPa = 0.1450376808 ksi
1 ksi = 6.89476 MPa

To convert megapascal to kilopound per square inch, divide the value by 6.89476 (equivalently, multiply by 0.1450376808). To convert kilopound per square inch back to megapascal, multiply by 6.89476.

Example: convert 10 MPa to ksi:
10 MPa = 10 x 0.1450376808 = 1.450376808 ksi

↔ Convert kilopound per square inch to megapascal

megapascal

Definition: The megapascal (symbol: MPa) is a multiple of the pascal, which is the SI unit of pressure and stress. One MPa is equal to 1,000,000 pascals.

History/origin: Like the pascal, the megapascal's origin is tied to the development of SI units. It provides a more convenient scale for expressing large pressures.

Current use: Megapascals are frequently used in engineering, especially in the fields of material science, structural engineering, and geomechanics, for measuring the strength of materials, stresses in structures, and pressures in geological formations.

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.
