About the units
Pound per square inch (psi)
One pound-force per square inch, about 6,894.76 Pa. US tire, air-compressor and hydraulic pressures are given in psi. One pound per square inch equals 6,894.757293 pascals (Pa).
Kilopascal (kPa)
One thousand pascals. Tire pressures outside the US are often given in kPa (220–250 kPa for a car). One kilopascal equals 1,000 pascals (Pa).
