How to convert pounds per square inch to pascals
pascals = pounds per square inch × 6,894.757293
To convert pounds per square inch to pascals, multiply the value by 6,894.757293. To go back from pascals to pounds per square inch, divide by the same number (or multiply by 0.0001450377).
Worked examples
- 14.7 psi: 14.7 × 6,894.757293 = 101,352.93 Pa
- 15 psi: 15 × 6,894.757293 = 103,421.36 Pa
- 30 psi: 30 × 6,894.757293 = 206,842.72 Pa
One psi is roughly 6.9 kilopascals. Multiply psi by 7 for a quick estimate in kPa, then add three zeros for pascals.

When you need to convert pounds per square inch to pascals
Tire pressures, air compressors, pressure washers and diving cylinders in the US are rated in psi, while engineers and scientists work in pascals. If you are adjusting a regulator, reading an imported gauge or solving a physics problem, converting gives you an exact value in the SI unit.
About the units
Pound per square inch (psi)
Psi is the pressure from one pound-force on one square inch, about 6,894.76 pascals. It is the standard for tires and air tools in the US.
Pascal (Pa)
The pascal is the SI unit of pressure: one newton per square meter. It is a very small unit, so kilopascals are more common.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert pounds per square inch to pascals?
Multiply the number of pounds per square inch by 6,894.757293. For example, 10 pounds per square inch × 6,894.757293 = 68,947.57293 pascals.
How many pascals are in one pound per square inch?
There are 6,894.757293 pascals in one pound per square inch.
How many pounds per square inch are in one pascal?
There are 0.0001450377 pounds per square inch in one pascal.
What is a normal car tire pressure in kPa and bar?
A typical passenger-car tire is inflated to 32 psi, which is about 220.6 kPa or 2.21 bar. Always follow the figure on your car's door-jamb placard rather than the number on the tire sidewall.
Can I convert other pressure units with this tool?
Yes. Use the From and To drop-downs in the converter to choose any pressure unit, or press the swap button to reverse the conversion. All calculations use internationally defined conversion factors.
