Conversion Formula
The formula to convert ksi to pascals is:
pascals = ksi × 6,894,757
This works because ksi means “kilo pounds per square inch”, which means 1 ksi equals 1,000 pounds per square inch. Since 1 psi equals 6,894.757 pascals, multiplying 1,000 psi by 6,894.757 gives the number of pascals in 1 ksi.
Step-by-step example for 60 ksi:
- Start with 60 ksi
- Convert ksi to psi: 60 × 1,000 = 60,000 psi
- Convert psi to pascals: 60,000 × 6,894.757 = 413,685,420 pascals
Conversion Example
Let’s convert 45 ksi to pascals step-by-step:
- Begin with 45 ksi
- Multiply by 1,000 to get psi: 45 × 1,000 = 45,000 psi
- Multiply psi by 6,894.757 to get pascals: 45,000 × 6,894.757 = 310,263,000 pascals
- Result: 45 ksi equals approximately 310,263,000 pascals
Another example, 75 ksi:
- Convert 75 ksi to psi: 75 × 1,000 = 75,000 psi
- Convert psi to pascals: 75,000 × 6,894.757 = 516,357,275 pascals
For 50 ksi:
- 50 × 1,000 = 50,000 psi
- 50,000 × 6,894.757 = 344,737,850 pascals

Conversion Definitions
ksi: ksi stands for kilo pounds per square inch; one ksi equals 1,000 pounds-force applied over a one square inch area. It is a unit of pressure or stress used mainly in materials science and engineering fields to express high pressure values in a compact form.
pascals: The pascal (Pa) is the SI unit of pressure, equal to one newton per square meter. It measures force exerted over an area and is widely used in physics and engineering. Pascals provide a standard metric way to quantify pressure or stress.
Conversion FAQs
Why is 1 ksi equal to 6,894,757 pascals?
Because 1 ksi means 1,000 psi and 1 psi equals 6,894.757 pascals, multiply 1,000 by 6,894.757 to get the pascal value. This conversion combines imperial units of pressure with metric, which converts pounds per square inch to newtons per square meter.
Can I convert ksi to pascals without a calculator?
You can estimate by remembering 1 ksi is about 6.9 million pascals. Multiplying your ksi value by 6.9 million gives an approximate pascal value. For exact numbers, calculators or conversion tools are better because the decimals matter in precise calculations.
What industries use ksi and pascals measurements?
ksi is common in mechanical engineering and construction where high pressure stresses are reported in pounds per square inch. Pascals are standard in physics and international engineering contexts. Both express pressure but in different unit systems, so conversions are frequent.
Is the conversion factor between ksi and pascals always constant?
Yes, the factor 6,894,757 pascals per ksi is constant because it comes from fixed unit definitions. There is no variation based on conditions, so you can always rely on multiplying ksi by this number to get pascals.
How precise is the pascal value when converting from ksi?
The precision depends on how many decimal places you keep in the conversion factor (6,894.757 psi to pascals). For most engineering purposes, rounding to four decimal places or fewer is enough. More precision may be needed in scientific applications.
