⚙️ kg/cm² → psi Converter
Translate gauge pressures into imperial and metric standards.
Essential for hydraulic systems, tire pressure references, and industrial equipment that mix metric and imperial pressure units.
5 kg/cm² equals
71.11672 psi
Kilopascals: 490.3325
Bar: 4.903325
How to Use This Calculator
Enter kg/cm²
Provide the pressure measured in kilogram-force per square centimeter.
Review psi
The converter multiplies by 14.2233 to show pounds per square inch.
Check metric references
Kilopascals and bar provide SI context for documentation.
Formula
1 kgf/cm² = 98,066.5 Pa
psi = kgf/cm² × 14.2233
kPa = kgf/cm² × 98.0665
bar = kgf/cm² × 0.980665
Use the formula breakdown to confirm the calculation logic or perform the conversion manually if needed.
Full Description
Many specifications—especially in hydraulics and manufacturing—still reference kg/cm². Converting to psi aligns those specs with U.S. equipment and documentation while preserving metric context in kPa and bar.
This converter relies on the kilogram-force definition, which assumes standard gravity (9.80665 m/s²). Use caution when comparing to other gravitational references.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is kilogram-force?
It is the force exerted by one kilogram under standard gravity (9.80665 m/s²).
Is kg/cm² the same as kgf/cm²?
Yes. In engineering contexts, kg/cm² typically implies kilogram-force per square centimeter.
Can I convert psi back to kg/cm²?
Divide psi by 14.2233, or use this tool by entering the psi value after switching formulas.
Does it support gauge vs absolute?
This converter treats values as absolute units. Adjust for atmospheric pressure separately if needed.
