What is a pound-force per square inch?

It is an imperial unit of pressure representing one pound-force applied to an area of one square inch.

What does a dekapascal measure?

A dekapascal is an SI-derived unit of pressure equal to 10 pascals, representing force per unit area.

Why convert psi to daPa?

Converting psi to daPa is useful for applications requiring metric units for precision, such as audiology, HVAC, and laboratory calibrations.

What Is This Tool?

This tool converts pressure measurements from pound-force per square inch (psi), an imperial unit, to dekapascal (daPa), a metric unit derived from pascals. It is designed for users needing precise conversions between these units in various technical and scientific contexts.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the pressure value in pound-force/square inch (psi).
Select the target unit as dekapascal [daPa].
Click the convert button to view the equivalent pressure in daPa.

Key Features

Converts pound-force/square inch (psi) to dekapascal (daPa) accurately.
Supports pressure unit conversion relevant to engineering and scientific fields.
Browser-based and easy to use with a simple input and output interface.

Examples

Convert 5 psi to daPa: 5 × 689.4757293178 = 3,447.378646589 daPa.
Convert 0.1 psi to daPa: 0.1 × 689.4757293178 = 68.94757293178 daPa.

Common Use Cases

Automotive tire pressure measurements and engineering applications.
Pneumatic and hydraulic system pressure evaluations, such as pumps and brakes.
Audiology testing for middle-ear pressure and tympanometry.
HVAC system diagnostics, filter monitoring, and building pressure inspections.
Laboratory calibration of low-pressure sensors and pneumatic devices.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure consistent unit usage within your calculations and documentation to avoid confusion.
Use this converter to translate common imperial pressure values into metric units when precision is required.
Be mindful of the scale difference; small psi values convert to moderate daPa values.

Limitations

The large conversion factor may make very small psi readings result in moderate or larger daPa values, complicating interpretation.
Mixing imperial and metric pressure units can cause errors without careful management and unit consistency.
