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.

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.

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 .

So what is the conversion factor from Imperial degrees to Metric degrees???

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.
