100kPa (kilo-Pascals) = 1 atmosphere, or 14.7psi.

B

so that means... 50 kPa = 7 psi and 75kpa = about 10psi..
so i am boosting correctly?
I wonder why I was boosting 11-12 psi before?

Actually, it's closer to 100kPa = 1bar = 14.5psi.

I dunno where the "hKPa" came from, but the above calculator calls it "hectokilopascal", and it throws the conversion way off!
