How do you convert psi to kg per centimeter square?

Answer 1

In the metric system , Pressure is officially measured in Pascal or KiloPascal. The correct abbreviation for KiloPascal is kPa (a lower case k and upper case P) Multiply Pound per Square Inch (PSI) x 6.89 to convert it to kPa. Atmospheric pressure is 101.3 kPa or 14.696 PSI. Most pressure gauges at petrol stations have both PSI and KPa on the dial. Most car makers recommend tyre air pressures in kPa but sometimes they state both in the owners manual . Forget about Kg per cm squared. Do what the rest of the industrial world does, and use kPa.
