Kilopascal (kPa)
A kilopascal is one thousand pascals — a practical SI scale for everyday and engineering pressures.
Kilopascals label tire pressure in many countries, HVAC ductwork, and meteorological pressure charts.

About these units
Short background on the units used in this conversion.
Pound per Square Inch (psi) (psi)
Pounds per square inch (psi) measures force in pounds distributed over each square inch of area.
PSI is the default for US tire pressure, HVAC systems, hydraulics, and many industrial pressure ratings.
