Convert psi to newton/square millimeter
Please provide values below to convert psi [psi] to newton/square millimeter [N/mm^2], or Convert newton/square millimeter to psi.
1 psi = 0.00689475729 N/mm^2. To convert psi to newton/square millimeter, multiply the value by 0.00689475729; to go the other way, divide by it (1 N/mm^2 = 145.037737797 psi). Both units measure pressure and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Psi
Psi (pounds per square inch) is a unit of pressure measurement representing the force of one pound applied to an area of one square inch.
History/Origin
The psi originated in the United States as a customary unit of pressure, commonly used in engineering and industrial applications. It became standardized with the development of the imperial system of units.
Current Use
Psi is widely used today in various fields such as automotive tire pressure, plumbing, and industrial pressure measurements, especially in the United States and other countries using imperial units.
Newton/square Millimeter
Newton per square millimeter (N/mm²) is a unit of pressure or stress, representing the force of one newton applied over an area of one square millimeter.
History/Origin
The unit derives from the SI base unit newton for force and the millimeter for area, commonly used in engineering and material science to measure stress and pressure. It has been in use since the adoption of the SI system, with increased application in fields requiring precise measurement of high pressures.
Current Use
N/mm² is widely used in engineering, material science, and construction to specify material strength, stress, and pressure levels, especially in contexts where high precision is required, such as in the specification of tensile strength and pressure ratings.
