What is a Pound per square inch?
Pounds per square inch (psi) is the dominant pressure unit in the United States for tire inflation, plumbing, hydraulic equipment, and compressed gas cylinders. Equal to approximately 6,894.76 Pascals, it is part of the imperial measurement system. Passenger car tires are typically inflated to 30–35 psi. A standard garden hose delivers water at about 40–60 psi.
What is a Kilopascal?
The kilopascal equals 1,000 Pascals and is the practical unit for meteorological air pressure readings, tire inflation, and blood pressure in many metric countries. Standard atmospheric pressure is 101.325 kPa. Passenger car tire inflation typically ranges from 220 to 250 kPa (about 32–36 psi). Blood pressure of 120/80 mmHg equals approximately 16.0/10.7 kPa.
