How pressure conversion works

All units convert through pascals, the SI unit (one newton per square meter). Each unit has one fixed factor (1 psi = 6,894.757 Pa), so any pair converts in a single step.

Where each unit is used

PSI and bar dominate tire pressure (car tires run about 32 psi / 2.2 bar). Weather reports use hPa or inHg, blood pressure uses mmHg, and vacuum or lab work uses torr.

Pressure Converter FAQs

How many psi in 1 bar?
14.5038 psi. 1 psi = 0.0689476 bar.
What is normal tire pressure?
Typically 30-35 psi (2.1-2.4 bar) for cars. Check the sticker on the driver door jamb.
How many kPa in 1 atm?
101.325 kPa exactly.
mmHg vs torr?
Nearly identical: 1 mmHg = 133.322387 Pa, 1 torr = 133.322368 Pa. The difference is negligible in practice.
What is 1 bar in Pa?
100,000 Pa exactly.
