    Pretty much everything is in a variation of kPa (Kilo Pascals) or Bar where 1 Bar is equal to about 14.5 PSI

    I myself run all of my motorcycles and cars in Bar and I know from experience that most cars, give or take require about 2.2 - 2.5 Bar pressure. 2 bar is 29 PSI and 2.5 Bar is 36 PSI.

    I new this little book would come in handy one day.

    it says....

    kgs times 14 = psi.

    So multiply kgs by 14 to get psi.
    Make sense ?

    Hope it helps Joesph.

    Default Conversion not needed

    PSI = pounds per square inch, no conversion is necessary or am I missing something.

    Joseph, have a good look at your compressor gauge.

    I think you will find that it reads in kPa which is KiloPascals, not Kg which is Kilo Grams which is a measure of weight not air pressure.

    Anyway to answer your last question 32 PSI = 220.6324026 kPa.

    Measure 2.2 and you will be alright.

    Mick.

    Guys Kgs are a measure of pressure!
    1kg/cm2= 14.22psi/98.0665kpa
    1kg/m2 =0.001422psi/0.009806kpa

    I must admit this thread confuses me too . If it reads PSi and Kpa whats to convert , but anyway it reminds me of the Trysquare I bought last month , great quality but got peeved when I found both imperial and metric measurments on it . For goodness sake I'm 41 years old and was taught metric from kindergarten . So I dutifully wrote a letter of complaint to the importers who were nice enough to reply to my complaint ( after 2 letters and 1 e-mail ) They agreed with me but said they have 7 squares in stores all of which are duel measurement devices .

    Depends on the subject matter, I assume a Batchelor of Emergency Services Management (Imperial) from any US institution would be about one tenth of a (Metric) Batchelor of Fine Dining from any French one.

    That's just an observation of course, and I suppose there would be a different weighting as to whether it was a two year or three year degree?

    All I know is that I'm 0.4612 of a standard male lifespan old.

    Soon I'll be 0.5128. Life was so much more fun when I was 0.2692. Now I'm just looking forward to retiring at 0.8461.

    I really admire those people who have good health at 1.0256. Its amazing, to see some people live to 1.1538!
    This time, we didn't forget the gravy.

    Peter,

    I think it should be spelt waiting if you are talking about dining and French Cuisine.

    What about a Bachelor of English Spelling?
