Where pressure conversions are used

Pressure conversions are useful for plumbing, water pressure, pumps, irrigation, hydronic heating, pressure tanks, air compressors, pipe systems, drainage, engineering, and construction estimates.

Use this converter when switching between PSI, metric pressure units, water head, atmospheric pressure, and pressure gauge references.

What your pressure result means

Your result shows the entered pressure converted from the starting unit into the selected ending unit. The converter also shows common references such as PSI, kPa, bar, and feet of head.

This converter changes pressure units only. Actual system performance depends on pipe size, elevation, flow rate, pump capacity, friction loss, valves, fittings, and equipment ratings.

Pressure converter tips

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert PSI to kPa?

Multiply PSI by 6.89476. For example, 50 PSI equals about 344.738 kPa.

How many feet of head are in 1 PSI?

1 PSI equals about 2.30666 feet of water head.

How do I convert feet of head to PSI?

Multiply feet of head by 0.4335. For example, 100 feet of head equals about 43.35 PSI.

Is PSI the same as water pressure?

PSI is a pressure unit. Water pressure is often measured in PSI, but it can also be expressed in kPa, bar, or feet of head.

Does this converter calculate pressure drop?

No. This converter only changes pressure units. Pressure drop depends on pipe length, pipe diameter, fittings, flow rate, fluid type, and pipe roughness.
