What is the measurement in kPa of a pressure transmitter that is reading 20 psi?

To convert a pressure measurement from psi (pounds per square inch) to kPa (kilopascals), you can use the conversion factor where 1 psi is approximately equal to 6.895 kPa.

When a pressure transmitter reads 20 psi, you would calculate the equivalent in kPa by multiplying 20 psi by the conversion factor:

20 psi × 6.895 kPa/psi = 137.9 kPa.

This results in a measurement of 137.9 kPa, confirming that the correct conversion has been performed accurately. Understanding these units and conversion factors is essential for interpreting and working with pressure measurements effectively in various industrial applications.
