Converting pounds per square inch to pascals

To convert pounds per square inch to pascals, multiply the value by 6,894.7573. Pressure conversions link structural loading, material strength grades and mechanical system ratings across metric and US practice.

PSI (psi)

Pounds per square inch (psi) is the pressure unit of US customary engineering.

Origin
Derived from the avoirdupois pound-force acting on one square inch.
Where it is used
Used for piping, pneumatics, hydraulic systems and US material strengths.
Relation to SI
1 psi = 6,894.757 Pa, about 6.895 kPa.

Pascal (Pa)

The pascal (Pa) is the SI derived unit of pressure, equal to one newton per square meter.

Origin
Named after Blaise Pascal and defined directly from SI base units.
Where it is used
Used for wind pressure, duct pressure and stress values in structural analysis.
Relation to SI
1 Pa = 1 N/m², the SI anchor unit for pressure.

Frequently asked questions

How many pascals are in one pound per square inch?

1 psi equals 6,894.7573 Pa.

How do I convert pounds per square inch to pascals?

Multiply the value by 6,894.7573. For example, 10 psi equals 68,947.573 Pa.

How do I convert back from pascals to pounds per square inch?

1 Pa equals 0.00014503774 psi. The converter above works in both directions, so you can type into either field.

How does pressure relate to structural loading?

One kilopascal equals one kilonewton per square meter, which is why imposed floor loads and wind pressures are stated in kPa or kN/m².

Why are concrete and steel grades given in MPa?

One megapascal equals one newton per square millimeter, which matches the millimeter cross-sections used in structural design, so C30/37 or S355 read directly as stress limits.

Is this pressure converter free to use?

Yes. Every unit conversion runs in your browser, needs no account and is free for professional use.
