Illustration of a CO2 cartridge
472 psi (3,256 kPa) is comparable to the pressure inside a CO₂ cartridge or small gas cylinder.

Did you know? CO2 cartridge is 3,000 kPa.

Small CO2 cartridges (for soda makers, paintball) operate at about 3,000 kPa (435 psi) at room temperature.

How to Convert MPa to Psi

1 MPa = 145.038 psi

Psi = MPa × 145.038

Example: 3.256 MPa × 145.038 = 472.24 psi

Reverse Conversion

To convert psi back to MPa:

  • Remember, 1 psi equals 0.00689476 MPa.
  • To convert 472.24 psi to MPa, multiply 472.24 x 0.00689476, resulting in 3.256 MPa.

3.256 MPa is also equal to:

  • 3256000 pascal
  • 3256 kPa
  • 32.56 bar
About these units
