ksi ≈ bar × 0.014503773773

Definitions: 1 ksi = 1000 psi; 1 bar = 100000 Pa

The kilopound per square inch (ksi) is 1,000 psi. It is used in United States structural and materials engineering for the strength of steel and concrete, for example steel with a yield strength of 36 or 50 ksi.

The bar equals exactly 100,000 pascals, which is very close to atmospheric pressure at sea level. It is used for tire and gas pressure in Europe, for scuba tanks (water adds about one bar per 10 meters of depth), and in hydraulics and boilers.
