lbs to Psi

[seth]

I want to recharge my air conditioner and I am racking my brain to find a conversion chart that coverts lbs to psi the factory fill of the air conditioner was 1.25 lb but the pressure guage that came with the recharge kit reads in psi so could someone tell me what 1.25 = in psi thank for the help

You can't do it. You have to weigh the tank and then charge the system until the weight of the tank decreases by 1.25 lbs. So, you need a weight scale to do the job.

hi...I had the same problem, but I think I got.... lbs is actually: Pounds (Lbs) per Square Inch (PSI) .... so, they are probably using lbs as psi.

no, I think lb (pound) is a unit of mass (sometimes called weight) and psi (pounds per square inch), so if you get lbs/in2 (Inch square I mean) it's same like psi, or lbs/in2=psi

I am thinking this is the closest to the real scenario. Pounds is a unit of mass and PSI is also a unit of mass (it measures how much of something is IN something else) so the lbs/in2 would work to do this conversion
