About Pounds per Square Inch (psi)
Pounds per square inch is the most common pressure unit in the United States, used for tire pressure (typically 30-35 psi for passenger cars), air compressor ratings, and water pressure in plumbing. Fire hydrants deliver water at 40-80 psi, and scuba tank pressures reach 3,000 psi.
About Kilopascal (kPa)
One thousand pascals, the kilopascal is the practical unit for tire pressure in most metric countries, blood pressure monitors in some regions, and industrial process pressures. Standard atmospheric pressure is approximately 101.325 kPa, and typical car tire pressure ranges from 200 to 250 kPa.
