PSI to kgf/cm² Converter
Pressure · unit-converter
Convert PSI to kgf/cm² 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 PSI
Pounds-force per square inch (PSI) is common for tires, hydraulics, and US industrial equipment.
About kgf/cm²
Kilogram-force per square centimeter (kgf/cm²) is common in pump/compressor and older industrial gauge specifications.
How to convert psi to kilogram-force per square centimeter
1 psi equals 0.07030695796391224 kgf/cm² in this tool (via pascal):
1 psi = (6894.757293168 Pa ÷ 98066.5 Pa) kgf_cm2 = 0.07030695796391224 kgf_cm2
Each psi carries 6894.757293168 Pa and each kgf/cm² 98066.5 Pa, so one psi equals 6894.757293168 ÷ 98066.5 kgf_cm2.
Let p(psi) be pressure in PSI (psi), and p(kgf_cm2) in kgf/cm² (kgf_cm2). Then:
p(kgf_cm2) = p(psi) × (6894.757293168 / 98066.5)
Equivalently, divide by how many psi fit into one kgf_cm2 (Pa per kgf_cm2 divided by Pa per psi):
p(kgf_cm2) = p(psi) ÷ 14.223343307120308
Examples
Example #1: Convert 1 psi to kgf/cm²
1 psi = 1 psi × (6894.757293168/98066.5) kgf_cm2 = 0.070306958 kgf_cm2
1 psi = 1 psi ÷ 14.223343307120308 = 0.070306958 kgf_cm2
1 psi × (6,894.757293168/98,066.5) = 0.070307 kgf_cm2
Example #2: Convert 10 psi to kgf/cm²
10 psi = 10 psi × (6894.757293168/98066.5) kgf_cm2 = 0.7030695796 kgf_cm2
10 psi = 10 psi ÷ 14.223343307120308 = 0.7030695796 kgf_cm2
10 psi × (6,894.757293168/98,066.5) = 0.703070 kgf_cm2
Summary
To convert PSI to kgf/cm², multiply the value in psi by (6894.757293168 Pa per psi) / (98066.5 Pa per kgf_cm2). Equivalently: value_kgf_cm2 = value_psi × (6894.757293168 / 98066.5). Numerically, 1 psi equals 0.07030695796391224 kgf_cm2.
Relationship context
Both PSI and kgf/cm² are converted by fixed multiples of the pascal. Multiplying by (Pa per psi) ÷ (Pa per kgf_cm2) gives the same result as passing through pascal, keeping bar, atm, PSI, kPa, hPa, torr, and mmHg consistent on the hub.
