How to Change KPA to PSI

The kilopascal (kPa) is a metric unit of pressure, and pounds per square inch (psi) is a standard unit of pressure. Pressure measurement units can measure both internal pressure, like tire pressure, and external pressure, like barometric pressure. Since kPa and psi both measure pressure, it's relatively easy to convert one to the other.
