Subject: BS: 'kpa' to 'psi' conversion help needed
Hello,

I have a Chinese motor scooter and want to keep the tires at the correct pressure. Unfortunately, the manual tells me they need to be at:

147kpa and 171.5kpa

I've tried to find a conversion to pounds per square inch (PSI) but to no avail. No one seems to recognize "kpa" and when I put the numbers in standard kilos per centimeter, per meter, per milimeter I get numbers that are totally off the mark. Any help?

Thanks in advance.
