kpa to psi

idk where I am suppose to post this thread, so if its in the wrong spot sorry.

is there some sort of math formula to turn kPa into psi? I think 1 bar is like 15 psi but Im not to sure. the reason I ask is because my friend has a STI with the stock boost gauge that only reads kPa and wants to turn up the boost but he nor I can read the gauge. thanks

I think 1 bar depends on what elevation you are at, but at sea level, 1 bar = 14.7 psi.

multiply Kpa by 0.14504 to get PSI

What is kPa? Like what does it stand for and all?

kilopascals

used in physics and chemistry, just another measurement for pressure

We want to get 16.5-17psi. what would that be? 1.1-1.2 bar?

yes

thanks

thanks


no problem for future reference just take the boost you want to run and divide by 14.7

There are dozens of online calculators to convert these units for you. I use a small EXE called "convert." If you google "convert program" it should be the first link. I put a shortcut to this in my Quick Launch toolbar (with explorer, show desktop, etc, for you non compyooter types).

This comes in handy at work too. Some of the readounds are in Pascal, others in Torr, others in MM/H2O, etc. I really wish they'd make them all the same, considering they are all on the same piece of equipment :)

yeah but then scientists wouldn't have any way to make things harder for themselves ;)

They aren't straight conversions though they take into account altitude. But those numbers will be accurate enough unless your in like denver.

great program...Convert.exe hundreds of conversions...anyone want it pm me your addy

Theres the one I use.

I like to use this one. http://www.funsupply.com/airguns/psibar.html
