Enter the stress in kilopound per square inch and the constant values into the calculator to determine the hardness in Rockwell C scale. This calculator can also evaluate any of the variables given the others are known.

Ksi To Hrc Conversion Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the conversion from Ksi to Hrc.

Hrc = 0.3467 * Ksi + 20.4

Variables:

  • Hrc is the hardness in Rockwell C scale
  • Ksi is the stress in kilopound per square inch

To calculate the hardness in Rockwell C scale, multiply the stress in kilopound per square inch by 0.3467 and then add 20.4 to the result.

What is a Ksi To Hrc Conversion?

A Ksi to HRC conversion refers to the process of converting measurements from Kilo-pound per square inch (Ksi) to Rockwell Hardness C Scale (HRC). Ksi is a unit of stress that measures pressure or force per unit area, often used in engineering to measure the strength of materials. On the other hand, HRC is a hardness scale based on indentation hardness of a material. The conversion between these two units is commonly used in material science and engineering to determine the hardness of a material from its measured stress.

How to Calculate Ksi To Hrc Conversion?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Ksi to Hrc Conversion using the given formula:


  1. First, determine the value of Ksi (stress in kilopound per square inch).
  2. Next, multiply the value of Ksi by 0.3467.
  3. Then, add 20.4 to the result obtained in the previous step.
  4. Finally, the obtained value is the hardness in Rockwell C scale (Hrc).

Example Problem:

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge:

Ksi (stress in kilopound per square inch) = 50

Follow the steps to calculate the hardness in Rockwell C scale (Hrc).
