About the units
- Psi
- One pound-force per square inch, about 6894.757 pascals from the exact definitions of the pound, inch and standard gravity.
- Kilogram-force per square centimeter
- One kilogram-force on one square centimeter, exactly 98,066.5 pascals. Also called the technical atmosphere, it appears on older pressure gauges.
Limits and caveats
- Results are rounded for display and computed with the browser's floating point precision (about 15 significant digits).
- Both unit factors are exact by their official definitions.
Questions about this tool
How many kilograms-force per square centimeter are in one psi?
1 psi = 0.070307 kgf/cm² exactly.
How do I convert psi to kilograms-force per square centimeter?
Use kgf/cm² = psi × 0.07030695796. For example, 25 psi = 1.75767 kgf/cm².
How many psi are in one kilogram-force per square centimeter?
1 kgf/cm² = 14.2233 psi.
What is the difference between gauge and absolute pressure?
Gauge pressure is measured from the surrounding air pressure, while absolute pressure starts from a perfect vacuum. These converters change the unit only, so a gauge reading stays a gauge reading.
Are torr and mmHg the same?
Almost. One torr is 101325/760 Pa, about 133.322368 Pa, and one conventional mmHg is 133.322387 Pa, a difference of less than one part per million. For everyday use you can treat them as equal.
