Air pressure for auto tire
How to convert kg/cm x cm to kPa
Question: My auto manual gives the air pressure for the tire as 1.8 kg/cm x cm.
But the tire pump at my local gasoline station has a scale of kPa only.
To which value I have to pump?
Answer: 1.8 kg/cmxcm ( which means the air pressure equals 1.8 kg ( kilogram ) on 1 square centimeter ) is same as about 180 kPa ( kilopascal ).
So adjust the pump to 180 kPa ( if you want to be exactly then 176.5 kPa ) at your gasoline station.
