PSI to kPa Converter
Convert pressure between PSI and kPa instantly, then use the reference points below to compare irrigation, tire, compressor, and general equipment specs without second-guessing the unit.
Use this page for a fast bridge number or sanity check, then continue into the related calculators or guides below when the decision needs more than a raw conversion.
Need the real irrigation calculation?
Translate the pressure target here first, then switch to the drip calculator when the next decision is emitter layout, tubing length, or zone sizing.
Checking the electrical side too?
Pressure specs often show up beside power specs on pumps, compressors, and HVAC gear. Use the utility-converter cluster to keep translating the rest of the data sheet.

Convert →Why PSI And kPa Both Show Up
PSI dominates many North American tire gauges, irrigation discussions, and shop-tool conversations. kPa is common in metric equipment documentation, international manuals, and product spec sheets. This page is the fast bridge between the two when you need a reliable number before moving back to the actual tool or equipment decision.
kPa = PSI × 6.89475729317
PSI = kPa ÷ 6.89475729317
Keep the page fast: use it to translate the pressure target, then move back into the regulator, compressor, or HVAC spec you were actually trying to understand.
Quick Pressure Reference
These are the checkpoints people most often look up when a label, manual, or equipment setting uses the other pressure unit.
| PSI | kPa | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | 34.47 | Low-pressure irrigation or regulator check |
| 10 | 68.95 | Light pressure setting or filter benchmark |
| 15 | 103.42 | Drip irrigation and low-pressure line range |
| 20 | 137.90 | Low-pressure equipment or tire baseline |
| 30 | 206.84 | Household or shop reference point |
| 40 | 275.79 | Common line, tire, or compressor check |
| 50 | 344.74 | Tool or compressor setting |
| 60 | 413.69 | Higher-pressure reference for shop equipment |
Practical Pressure Examples
The most helpful support converters show why the number matters, not just the factor itself.
Drip irrigation regulator
15 PSI = 103.42 kPa
Useful when a regulator or filter spec lists pressure in kPa but the installer or homeowner is thinking in PSI.
Compressor setting
50 PSI = 344.74 kPa
A fast translation when imported tools or spec sheets switch pressure units and you want to sanity-check the number quickly.
Keep Translating Utility Specs
After the pressure check, continue through the converter hub or move into nearby utility tools if the next question is electrical draw, HVAC capacity, or another equipment-side unit translation.
