kN/mm2 to psi
by Phil_Jones on 07/23/03 at 10:35:49

Could someone give info on converting kN/mm2 to psi. Apparently kn/mm2 is a standard way of noting Youngs Modulus and Rigidity Modulus for wire in UK and Europe. Is Youngs Modulus the same as Modulus of Elasticity and Rigidity Modulus the same as Torsional Modulus ot is it visa versa?

Thanks for any info.

Currently, you will have to convert kN/mm² to N/mm² by multiplying by 1000, then you can use the pressure conversion page to convert N/mm² to PSI.

I was unaware of the use of kN/mm² which is why it is currently not on the Pressure conversion page.  I have added it to my to-do list, and will try to add it soon.

Robert,

Thanks for the quick reply. You have a VERY useful web site which I only recently discovered.

Thanks again,
Phil Jones
