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.
Kilogram Per Centimeter Cube (abbreviations: kg/cm2, or kgpcm2): is the SI derived unit of pressure used to quantify internal pressure, stress, Young's modulus and ultimate tensile strength interms of kilogram per centimeter cube.
How to Convert Kilopounds Per Square Inches to Kilograms Per Centimeters Cube
Example: How many kilograms per centimeters cube are equivalent to 19.89 kilopounds per square inches?
As;
1 kilopounds per square inches = 70.308140616281 kilograms per centimeters cube
19.89 kilopounds per square inches = Y kilograms per centimeters cube
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 19.89 times 70.308140616281 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 19.89 * 70.308140616281 / 1 = 1398.4289168578 kilograms per centimeters cube
Answer is: 1398.4289168578 kilograms per centimeters cube are equivalent to 19.89 kilopounds per square inches.
