kgf/cm² to PSI Converter
Pressure · unit-converter
Convert kgf/cm² to PSI with a fixed input and output unit, step-by-step formula line, and reference tables. All calculations bridge through pascal with fixed definitions (standard atmosphere = 101,325 Pa; torr and mmHg = atm/760; plus industrial/manometer units like kgf/cm², inHg, inH2O, and mmH2O).
About kgf/cm²
Kilogram-force per square centimeter (kgf/cm²) is common in pump/compressor and older industrial gauge specifications.
About PSI
Pounds-force per square inch (PSI) is common for tires, hydraulics, and US industrial equipment.
How to convert kilogram-force per square centimeter to psi
1 kgf/cm² equals 14.223343307120308 psi in this tool (via pascal):
1 kgf_cm2 = (98066.5 Pa ÷ 6894.757293168 Pa) psi = 14.223343307120308 psi
Each kgf/cm² carries 98066.5 Pa and each psi 6894.757293168 Pa, so one kgf_cm2 equals 98066.5 ÷ 6894.757293168 psi.
Let p(kgf_cm2) be pressure in kgf/cm² (kgf_cm2), and p(psi) in PSI (psi). Then:
p(psi) = p(kgf_cm2) × (98066.5 / 6894.757293168)
Equivalently, divide by how many kgf_cm2 fit into one psi (Pa per psi divided by Pa per kgf_cm2):
p(psi) = p(kgf_cm2) ÷ 0.07030695796391224
Examples
Example #1: Convert 1 kgf_cm2 to psi
1 kgf_cm2 = 1 kgf_cm2 × (98066.5/6894.757293168) psi = 14.2233433071 psi
1 kgf_cm2 = 1 kgf_cm2 ÷ 0.07030695796391224 = 14.2233433071 psi
1 kgf_cm2 × (98,066.5/6,894.757293168) = 14.223343 psi
Example #2: Convert 10 kgf_cm2 to psi
10 kgf_cm2 = 10 kgf_cm2 × (98066.5/6894.757293168) psi = 142.233433071 psi
10 kgf_cm2 = 10 kgf_cm2 ÷ 0.07030695796391224 = 142.233433071 psi
10 kgf_cm2 × (98,066.5/6,894.757293168) = 142.233433 psi
Summary
To convert kgf/cm² to PSI, multiply the value in kgf_cm2 by (98066.5 Pa per kgf_cm2) / (6894.757293168 Pa per psi). Equivalently: value_psi = value_kgf_cm2 × (98066.5 / 6894.757293168). Numerically, 1 kgf_cm2 equals 14.223343307120308 psi.
Relationship context
Both kgf/cm² and PSI are converted by fixed multiples of the pascal. Multiplying by (Pa per kgf_cm2) ÷ (Pa per psi) gives the same result as passing through pascal, keeping bar, atm, PSI, kPa, hPa, torr, and mmHg consistent on the hub.
