What is a kilopascal (kPa)?

Kilopascal is an SI derived unit of pressure equal to 1,000 pascals, commonly used in engineering and weather reporting.

Why convert from kPa to psi?

Conversion helps relate metric pressure measurements to imperial units widely used in automotive and industrial settings.

Does the conversion consider extreme environmental factors?

No, the conversion assumes standard ambient conditions and may not be precise under extreme environments.
