Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,
Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.
All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on

Hi all,
I am seeking advice how to convert the PSI to kN. Our issue is to load test the concreted bolts (axial pull test). Since we have to load test up to 100kN normal small load cell won't do the job. We will have to use Enerpac hollow jack (hydraulics) to pull test the bolts. The Enerpac gauge is in PSI & Bars and we need to get the kN. Anyone knows how to crack this one, please?

The key to this one is to know the square inches of area you want to use. Then you have to know that there are 224.808943871 pounds in 1 kilonewtons. The pound-force is a non-SI unit of force or weight (properly abbreviated "lbf" or "lbf"). The pound-force is equal to a mass of one pound multiplied by the standard acceleration due to gravity on Earth (which is defined as exactly 9.806 65 m/s², or exactly 196,133/6096 ft/s², or approximately 32.174 05 ft/s²
