How to Convert Kilopounds Per Square Inches to Pounds Per Square Inches
Example: How many pounds per square inches are equivalent to 0.57 kilopounds per square inches?
As;
1 kilopounds per square inches = 1000 pounds per square inches
0.57 kilopounds per square inches = Y pounds per square inches
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 0.57 times 1000 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 0.57 * 1000 / 1 = 570 pounds per square inches
Answer is: 570 pounds per square inches are equivalent to 0.57 kilopounds per square inches.
