When it comes to measuring tyre pressure, different regions and countries use different units of measurement. In the United States, tyre pressure is typically measured in pounds per square inch (PSI), while in many other parts of the world, including New Zealand, kilopascals (kPa) are commonly used. To help you convert between these units for typical tyre pressure values, here’s a handy tyre pressure conversion guide:
Conversion Formula:
To convert tyre pressure from PSI to kPa, you can use the following conversion formula:
kPa = PSI × 6.89476
Example Conversions:
- 14 PSI ≈ 96 kPa
- 16 PSI ≈ 110 kPa
- 18 PSI ≈ 124 kPa
- 20 PSI ≈ 138 kPa
- 25 PSI ≈ 173 kPa
- 28 PSI ≈ 193 kPa
- 30 PSI ≈ 207 kPa
- 32 PSI ≈ 221 kPa
- 34 PSI ≈ 235 kPa
- 36 PSI ≈ 249 kPa
- 40 PSI ≈ 276 kPa
By using this tyre pressure conversion guide, you can easily switch between PSI and kPa measurements for typical tyre pressure values and ensure that your tyres are inflated to the correct pressure for safe and efficient operation.
