Scientists convert
Anglo units of measurement to metric units
because
metrics use a base 10 which makes calculation
easier.

PSI:
pounds per square inch is
the_____
United States customary unit of
pressure.
|
Pascal
(Pa)
is the
international______
metric system main unit of
pressure.
|
Multiply pressure in PSI by 6,894.76 to convert
it to pascals (Pa).
Eg. The pressure of 30 PSI corresponds to 30 x
6,894.76 = 206,842.8
Multiply pressure in PSI by 6.895 to convert it
to kilopascals (kPa).
Eg. The pressure of 30 PSI corresponds to 30 x
6.895 = 206.84 kPa.
Multiply pressure in PSI by 0.06805 to convert
to units of atmosphere (atm).
Eg. the pressure of 30 PSI corresponds to 30 x
0.06805 = 2.04 atm.
