Conversion from PSI to N/mm2
Basic
π 3.1415927
Area of Cylinder 28.2743 inch2 ← (3" x 3" x π)
(6"x12) 18,241.5 mm2 ← (3 x 25.4/2) x (3 x 25.4/2 ) x π
Conversion
1 PSI = 0.00689476 N/mm2
1 pounds (lb) = 0.00444822 kN Actual practice
1 kN/mm2= 1,000 N/mm2 PSI (Pound(lb)/inch2) (Surface of Cylinder)
Load 6"x 12"
Unit 112,650.0 lb ÷ 28.2743
PSI [Pound(lb)/inch2] Load(lb) ÷ Area (inch2) ⇒
N/mm2 (Surface of Cylinder)
Load 6"x 12"
501.0919830 KN ÷ 18,241.5
kN/mm2 Load(kN) ÷ Area (mm2) ⇒

By Direct Conversion
3984.2 PSI x 0.00689476

Result Judgement (28 days) by JIS A 5308
I. Average of 3 samples ≧ 27.00 N/mm2
II. Each sample ≧ 22.95 N/mm2 ← (27.00 N/mm2 x 85%)
