Conversion Formula
The formula to convert gpa to psi is straightforward: multiply the pressure value in gpa by 145. This works because 1 gpa equals 145 psi, based on the conversion standard between these pressure units. For example, converting 20 gpa involves: 20 x 145 = 2900 psi.
This calculation makes sense because both units measure pressure, but gpa is a metric unit while psi is imperial. The factor 145 is derived from the precise equivalence between these units, ensuring that the conversion remains consistent across different pressure values.
Conversion Example
- Convert 10 gpa to psi:
- Multiply 10 by 145: 10 x 145
- Result: 1450 psi
- Convert 30 gpa to psi:
- Multiply 30 by 145: 30 x 145
- Result: 4350 psi
- Convert 5 gpa to psi:
- Multiply 5 by 145: 5 x 145
- Result: 725 psi
- Convert 25 gpa to psi:
- Multiply 25 by 145: 25 x 145
- Result: 3625 psi

Conversion Definitions
Gpa
Gpa (gigapascal) is a metric pressure unit equal to one billion pascals, used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure high-pressure levels, especially in material science and physics.
Psi
Psi (pounds per square inch) is an imperial pressure unit representing force in pounds applied over a square inch, commonly used in the United States for tire pressure, hydraulics, and other pressure measurements.
Conversion FAQs
How accurate is the conversion from gpa to psi?
The conversion is highly accurate because it relies on the fixed factor 145, which is based on the exact equivalence between gigapascals and pounds per square inch. Minor variations occur only if measurement units are approximated.
Can I use this conversion for pressures above 45 gpa?
Yes, the conversion formula remains valid regardless of the pressure level. For values exceeding 45 gpa, simply multiply the number by 145 to find the psi equivalent, but ensure your measurement instruments can handle such high pressures.
Is there a practical application for converting 20 gpa to psi?
Absolutely, especially in industries like aerospace or materials testing, where pressure measurements in different units are necessary for safety assessments, equipment calibrations, or scientific experiments involving high-pressure conditions.
