Atmosphere (abbreviation: atm): is a unit of standard pressure, equal to 101325 Pa, or 1.01325 bar.
Kilopound Per Square Inch (abbreviations: ksi, or kips/in2): is a unit of pressure or of stress based on avoirdupois units. It is the pressure resulting from a force of one kilopound-force applied to an area of one square inch.
How to Convert Atmospheres to Kilopounds Per Square Inches
Example: How many kilopounds per square inches are equivalent to 82.19 Atmospheres?
As;
1 Atmospheres = 0.01469181 kilopounds per square inches
82.19 Atmospheres = Y kilopounds per square inches
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 82.19 times 0.01469181 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 82.19 * 0.01469181 / 1 = 1.2075198639 kilopounds per square inches
Answer is: 1.2075198639 kilopounds per square inches are equivalent to 82.19 Atmospheres.
