Questions about site units

How do I convert psi to MPa for concrete?

Multiply pounds per square inch by 0.00689476 to get megapascals, or divide by 145. A 3 000 psi concrete is 21 MPa, and 4 000 psi is 28 MPa. The third form of the same figure, kilograms per square centimetre, is the megapascal value divided by 0.0980665 — 21 MPa is about 214 kg/cm².

Why does the converter include arrobas, bags and tipper loads?

Because that is how material is sold and hauled. A quantity is calculated in cubic metres or kilograms but ordered in cement bags, arrobas or truck loads, and the conversion between the two is where the mistake usually happens. They are ordinary units here, with the size assumed for each written next to its name.

Which value does a conversion round to?

Results are shown to a precision that matches their size: more decimals for small values, none for values above ten thousand. Every figure comes from the same base unit as the entry, so converting there and back returns the original number rather than a rounded one.
