Convert 35 psi to kilopascals

Explanation

Let's convert 35 pounds per square inch to kilopascals, or psi to kPa as one could put it.

First, we need to calculate the conversion factor using the units respective values. We find 6.8948.

Then we multiply this conversion factor by the number of pounds per square inch. In this case 35.

Therefore, 35 pounds per square inch is approximately equal to 241.3165 kilopascals.

Formula

1 psi≈6.8948 kPa

35 psi≈35 × 6.8948 kPa

35 psi≈241.3165 kPa

The pound per square inch (psi, lbf/in²) or psi is a unit of pressure.

The "pound" in "pound per square inch" is the pound-force, not to be confused with the pound the unit of mass. One pound-force is the force exerted downward by a mass of one avoirdupoids pound on the surface of the Earth.

Definition of the pound per square inch

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

Some Facts

The pressure inside a bottle of champagne is between 400 and 600 kilopascals. It is enough to propel the cork at more than 12 m/s or 27 mph. So be careful.

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.
