pound per square inch to megapascal Conversion Formula

To convert from pound per square inch (psi) to megapascal (MPa), use the following formula:

 megapascal (MPa)\textbf{ megapascal} \text{ (MPa)}

=11000×10.00014503768078×11000× pound per square inch (psi)= \frac{1}{1000} \times \frac{1}{0.00014503768078} \times \frac{1}{1000}\times \textbf{ pound per square inch} \text{ (psi)}

=1106×10.00014503768078× pound per square inch (psi)= \frac{1}{10^{6}} \times \frac{1}{0.00014503768078}\times \textbf{ pound per square inch} \text{ (psi)}

=0.0068947600004501395751× pound per square inch (psi)= 0.0068947600004501395751\times \textbf{ pound per square inch} \text{ (psi)}

With 10.00014503768078\frac{1}{0.00014503768078} is the ratio between the base units kilopascal (kPa) and kilopound per square inch (ksi).

Example

Let's convert 5 pound per square inch (psi) to megapascal (MPa).

Using the formula:

5×0.0068947600004501395751=0.0344738000022506978765 \times 0.0068947600004501395751 = 0.034473800002250697876

Therefore, 5 pound per square inch (psi) is equal to 0.0344738000022506978760.034473800002250697876 megapascal (MPa).

What is a pound per square inch (psi)?

A pound per square inch (psi) is a unit of pressure in the imperial system, equal to one thousandth of a kilopound per square inch (0.001 ksi). The plural form is pounds per square inch.

What is a megapascal (MPa)?

A megapascal (MPa) is a unit of pressure in the metric system, equal to one thousand kilopascals (1000 kPa). The plural form is megapascals.

What is the imperial system?

The imperial system is a system of measurement that was first defined in the British Weights and Measures Act of 1824. It's known for using units like inches, feet, pounds, and gallons. While most of the world now uses the metric system, the imperial system remains the official system of measurement in the United States and is still used in specific contexts in other countries, such as the United Kingdom and Canada.

What is the metric system?

The metric system is a decimal-based system of measurement used by nearly every country in the world. Its key feature is the use of prefixes to denote multiples and submultiples of the base units by powers of ten.
