Conversion Formula

The formula to convert psi to pa is: pressure in pa = pressure in psi × 6894.76. This works because 1 psi equals 6894.76 pascals. By multiplying the psi value by this constant, you directly obtain its equivalent in pascals. For example, 0.5 psi times 6894.76 is 3447.38 pa, showing the pressure in SI units.

Conversion Example

  • Convert 1 psi to pa:
    • Multiply 1 by 6894.76
    • 1 × 6894.76 = 6894.76 pa
  • Convert 2 psi to pa:
    • Multiply 2 by 6894.76
    • 2 × 6894.76 = 13789.52 pa
  • Convert 0.75 psi to pa:
    • Multiply 0.75 by 6894.76
    • 0.75 × 6894.76 = 5165.07 pa
  • Convert 10 psi to pa:
    • Multiply 10 by 6894.76
    • 10 × 6894.76 = 68947.6 pa

Conversion Definitions

psi

Psi (pounds per square inch) measures pressure based on force applied over an area, mainly used in the US. It indicates how many pounds of force are exerted on one square inch of surface, often seen in tire pressure, hydraulics, and engineering contexts.

pa

Pascals (pa) are SI units of pressure, representing force in newtons applied over an area in square meters. One pa equals one newton per square meter and is used globally for scientific, industrial, and technical pressure measurements.

Conversion FAQs
