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.
Pascal (abbreviations: Pa, or N/m2): is the SI derived unit of pressure used to quantify internal pressure, stress, Young's modulus and ultimate tensile strength. It is one newton per square meter. It is named after the French polymath Blaise Pascal.
How to Convert Kilopounds Per Square Inches to Pascals
Example: How many pascals are equivalent to 96.11 kilopounds per square inches?
As;
1 kilopounds per square inches = 6894744.825494 pascals
96.11 kilopounds per square inches = Y pascals
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 96.11 times 6894744.825494 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 96.11 * 6894744.825494 / 1 = 662653925.17823 pascals
Answer is: 662653925.17823 pascals are equivalent to 96.11 kilopounds per square inches.
