How to Convert Pounds Per Square Feet to Kilopounds Per Square Inches

Example: How many kilopounds per square inches are equivalent to 68.02 pounds per square feet?


As;

1 pounds per square feet = 6.94444E-6 kilopounds per square inches

68.02 pounds per square feet = Y kilopounds per square inches

Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;

Y equals 68.02 times 6.94444E-6 over 1

(i.e.) Y = 68.02 * 6.94444E-6 / 1 = 0.0004723608088 kilopounds per square inches

Answer is: 0.0004723608088 kilopounds per square inches are equivalent to 68.02 pounds per square feet.
