Never heard of an hkpa? kPa is a kilo Pascal, 1 psi is 6.89475729 kiloPascals.

 

blitz uses hkpa it is hectokilopascal

 

hecto=100

I assume we are talking about Psig, not Psia.

1Psig=6.89 kpa
1Psig=.0689 hkpa

I wish they would just stick to Psig...it would make things a lot easier..

 

Hecto means 100. Kilo means 1000. So a hectokilopascal is 100,000 Pascal, or roughly 1 bar. (101.something kPa = 1 bar)

They probably use that unit just so they can use the SI system without having to make new gauges.

 

thanks guys .0689 is what i needed
