How to Convert Kilopascals to Kilopounds Per Square Inches
Example: How many kilopounds per square inches are equivalent to 93.12 kilopascals?
As;
1 kilopascals = 0.000145038 kilopounds per square inches
93.12 kilopascals = Y kilopounds per square inches
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 93.12 times 0.000145038 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 93.12 * 0.000145038 / 1 = 0.01350593856 kilopounds per square inches
Answer is: 0.01350593856 kilopounds per square inches are equivalent to 93.12 kilopascals.
