Common Pressure Converter Conversions
| Unit Standard | Target Equivalent | Formula | Practical Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Atmosphere | 14.696 PSI | 1 atm = 14.696 PSI | 2.5 atm = 36.74 PSI |
| 1 Bar | 100,000 Pascals (100 kPa) | 1 bar = 100 kPa | 2.4 bar = 240 kPa |
| 32 PSI (Standard car tire) | 2.206 Bar (220.6 kPa) | PSI × 0.0689476 = bar | 32 PSI = 2.21 bar |
How Pressure Converter Math Works
Pressure is force per unit area. 1 standard atmosphere (atm) is defined as 101,325 Pascals (101.325 kPa), which equals approximately 14.6959 PSI or 1.01325 bar.
