Kilopound-force per square inch quick reference
| Kilopound-force per square inch | Megapascal | Bar | Pound-force per square inch |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 ksi | ≈ 6.894757293 MPa | ≈ 68.94757293 bar | = 1000 psi |
| 10 ksi | ≈ 68.94757293 MPa | ≈ 689.4757293 bar | = 10000 psi |
| 100 ksi | ≈ 689.4757293 MPa | ≈ 6894.757293 bar | = 100000 psi |
| 1000 ksi | ≈ 6894.757293 MPa | ≈ 68947.57293 bar | = 1000000 psi |
Where the ksi fits
The next smaller pressure unit is the megapascal (MPa). 1 ksi ≈ 6.894757293 MPa, and 1 MPa ≈ 0.1450377377 ksi.
The next larger pressure unit is the gigapascal (GPa). 1 ksi ≈ 0.006894757293 GPa, and 1 GPa ≈ 145.0377377 ksi.
