What is a kilopascal?

A kilopascal (kPa) is a derived SI pressure unit equal to 1,000 pascals, representing force per unit area.

When is ton-force (short)/square inch used?

It is used to describe high-pressure applications such as forging, stamping, and hydraulic press operations involving large forces over small contact areas.

How do I convert from kPa to ton-force (short)/sq. inch?

Multiply the pressure value in kilopascal by the conversion factor 0.0000725189 to get the equivalent in ton-force (short)/sq. inch.
