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.
Megapascal (abbreviations: Mpa, or MN/m2, or N/mm2): is the SI derived unit of pressure used to quantify internal pressure, stress, Young's modulus and ultimate tensile strength. It is one meganewton per square meter or one newton per square millimeter. It is named after the French polymath Blaise Pascal.
How to Convert Kilopounds Per Square Inches to Megapascals
Example: How many megapascals are equivalent to 65.24 kilopounds per square inches?
As;
1 kilopounds per square inches = 6.89476 megapascals
65.24 kilopounds per square inches = Y megapascals
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 65.24 times 6.89476 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 65.24 * 6.89476 / 1 = 449.8141424 megapascals
Answer is: 449.8141424 megapascals are equivalent to 65.24 kilopounds per square inches.
