Convert kip-force / square inch to pound-force / square meter

Learn how to convert 1 kip-force / square inch to pound-force / square meter step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (\frac{k i p - f o r c e}{s q u a r e i n c h}) = x (\frac{p o u n d - f o r c e}{s q u a r e m e t e r})

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(p a s c a l)

Left side: 1.0 (\frac{k i p - f o r c e}{s q u a r e i n c h}) = \frac{4448.2216152605}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 4}} (p a s c a l) = \frac{4448.2216152605}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 4}} (P a)

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{p o u n d - f o r c e}{s q u a r e m e t e r}) = 4.4482216152605 (p a s c a l) = 4.4482216152605 (P a)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (\frac{k i p - f o r c e}{s q u a r e i n c h}) = x (\frac{p o u n d - f o r c e}{s q u a r e m e t e r})

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times \frac{4448.2216152605}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 4}} \times (p a s c a l) = x \times 4.4482216152605 \times (p a s c a l)

Or

1.0 \cdot \frac{4448.2216152605}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 4}} \cdot (P a) = x \cdot 4.4482216152605 \cdot (P a)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times \frac{4448.2216152605}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 4}} \cdot (P a) = x \times 4.4482216152605 \times (P a)

Conversion Equation

\frac{4448.2216152605}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 4}} = x \times 4.4482216152605

Switch sides

x \times 4.4482216152605 = \frac{4448.2216152605}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 4}}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{4.4482216152605})

x \times 4.4482216152605 \times \frac{1.0}{4.4482216152605} = \frac{4448.2216152605}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 4}} \times \frac{1.0}{4.4482216152605}

Cancel

x \times 4.4482216152605 \times \frac{1.0}{4.4482216152605} = \frac{4448.2216152605 \times 1.0}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 4} \times 4.4482216152605}

Simplify

x = \frac{4448.2216152605}{6.4516 \times 10^{- 4} \times 4.4482216152605}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{- 4}} can be rewritten to 10^{4}

Rewrite

x = \frac{10^{4} \times 4448.2216152605}{6.4516 \times 4.4482216152605}

Solve

x

x \approx 1550003.1 \approx 1.55 \times 10^{6}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{k i p - f o r c e}{s q u a r e i n c h}) \approx 1.55 \times 10^{6} (\frac{p o u n d - f o r c e}{s q u a r e m e t e r})
