About the Pressure Converter
What is the Pressure Converter?
Tyre, hydraulic, weather and blood pressure use different units. This pressure converter handles all the common ones.
Enter a value to see the converted pressure plus a table of equivalents.
How to use the Pressure Converter
- Value (sample: 1)
- From (sample: Bar (bar))
- To (sample: Pound per square inch (psi))
- Press Convert (results also refresh as you type). The result card shows the Converted Value, along with Result, Conversion factor and Reverse factor.
Formula used
Result = Value × (Pa per from-unit) ÷ (Pa per to-unit)
- 1 bar = 100,000 Pa = 14.504 psi
- 1 atm = 101,325 Pa
- 1 psi = 6,894.76 Pa
- 1 kgf/cm² = 98,066.5 Pa
Worked example
These are the sample values already filled in the calculator above, and the result it returns for them:
| Input | Sample value |
|---|---|
| Value | 1 |
| From | Bar (bar) |
| To | Pound per square inch (psi) |
| Result | Value |
|---|---|
| Converted Value | 14.50377 psi |
| Result | 1 bar = 14.5038 psi |
| Conversion factor | 1 bar = 14.503774 psi |
| Reverse factor | 1 psi = 0.068947573 bar |
Tips for using the Pressure Converter
- Car tyre pressure: 32 psi is about 2.2 bar.
- Gauge pressure excludes atmospheric pressure; absolute pressure includes it.
