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.
Atmosphere (abbreviation: atm): is a unit of standard pressure, equal to 101325 Pa, or 1.01325 bar.
How to Convert Kilopounds Per Square Inches to Atmospheres
Example: How many Atmospheres are equivalent to 18.15 kilopounds per square inches?
As;
1 kilopounds per square inches = 68.065132886962 Atmospheres
18.15 kilopounds per square inches = Y Atmospheres
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 18.15 times 68.065132886962 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 18.15 * 68.065132886962 / 1 = 1235.3821618984 Atmospheres
Answer is: 1235.3821618984 Atmospheres are equivalent to 18.15 kilopounds per square inches.
