kgf/cm² to PSIkgf/cm² → psi
1 kgf/cm² = 14.2233 psi · 1 psi = 0.070307 kgf/cm²
Formula
psi ≈ kgf/cm² × 14.2233
Example: 3 kgf/cm² = 3 × 14.2233 = 42.67 psi
These units differ only by a fixed factor: multiply by it to convert, divide to go back. The factors are exact international definitions (for example 1 inch = 2.54 cm exactly); results are rounded only for display.
