Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert psi to bar?

Divide by 14.5038. 1 bar ≈ 14.5 psi.

What is mmHg?

Millimeters of mercury — used in blood pressure readings. 760 mmHg = 1 standard atmosphere.

What is a bar?

A metric unit of pressure equal to 100,000 Pa — close to one standard atmosphere.

How do I convert atmospheres to pascals?

Multiply by 101,325. 1 atm is the average sea-level air pressure.

Practical Example

Convert a typical car tire pressure of 2.2 bar to kilopascals and psi. Because 1 bar = 100,000 Pa, 2.2 × 100,000 = 220,000 Pa.

  • 220,000 Pa ÷ 1,000 = 220 kPa
  • 220,000 Pa ÷ 6,894.76 = 31.9 psi
  • 220,000 Pa ÷ 101,325 = 2.17 atm

What Your Results Mean

  • Pascals (Pa) — the SI unit of pressure; 1 Pa = 1 N per square meter.
  • Bar — 100,000 Pa, close to one atmosphere; common for tires and divers.
  • PSI — pounds per square inch; 1 psi = 6,894.76 Pa, common in US gauges.
  • mmHg — millimeters of mercury; 760 mmHg = 1 atm, used in blood pressure.
