Convert millipascals to ksi

Explanation

From this page you can convert millipascals to kilopounds per square inch (or mPa to ksi) simply, by using the application above.

In case you are wondering, to convert from millipascals to kilopounds per square inch you need to multiply by 0.000000000145. This factor is calculated using the respective definitions of the two units you can find below.

Formula

1 mPa≈0.000000000145 ksi

millipascalsmPa

dimension	pressure
system	International system of units (SI)
symbol	mPa

The millipascal (mPa) is a unit of pressure.

Definition of the millipascal

One millipascal is equal to 0.001 pascals.

Equivalences

Here are some equivalences between the millipascal and other pressure units:

Some Facts

A pressure in the order of the millipascal is pretty insignificant. A sheet of paper laying flat on a table somewhere on Earth would apply a pressure of roughly 600 millipascals by itself. The pressure created by the atmosphere above the sheet of paper would be tens of thousands of time greater.

Prefix

milli

10^-3

The prefix milli- comes from the Latin mille meaning a thousand. The associated multiplicative factor is 0.001 or 10^-3.

The International System of Units

The International System of Units or SI (from the French Système international (d'unité)), also called metric system in the U.S., is a coherent system of units that was published 1960. It is official in nearly every country.

The General Conference on Weights and Measures (Conférence générale des poids et mesures) is tasked with overseeing the SI.

The kilopound (or kip) per square inch (ksi) is a unit of pressure.

Definition of the kilopound per square inch

One ksi is equal to the pressure exerted by a force of one thousand pound-force on a surface of one square inch.

Equivalences

One ksi is equivalent to:

Some Facts

The pressure at the deepest part of the Earth oceans, the bottom of the Mariana Trench is 15.75 kilopounds per square inch.
