How the Pressure Converter works

Enter a pressure and choose the units — psi, bar, pascals, kilopascals, megapascals, atmospheres or millimeters of mercury. The result updates as you type, and the table below lists every unit.

All units are defined in pascals (newtons per square meter). One bar is exactly 100,000 Pa and one standard atmosphere is exactly 101,325 Pa; one psi is about 6,894.76 Pa.

Formula

result = value × ffrom ÷ fto

Where:

ffrom
Size of the starting unit in the base unit (1 bar = 100,000 Pa, 1 psi = 6,894.757 Pa)
fto
Size of the target unit in the same base unit

Examples

32 psi tire pressure in bar

32 × 6,894.757 ÷ 100,000 = 2.21 bar

3 bar in psi

300,000 ÷ 6,894.757 = 43.51 psi

One atmosphere in psi

101,325 ÷ 6,894.757 = 14.7 psi

Frequently asked questions

Does it matter if my gauge shows gauge or absolute pressure?

Not for the conversion — the units convert the same way. Tire gauges show pressure above the surrounding air (gauge pressure), so a flat tire reads 0 even though the air inside is at about 1 atm.

Are bar and atmosphere the same?

Close, but no: 1 atm = 1.01325 bar. The bar is a round metric unit; the atmosphere is average air pressure at sea level.

Is mmHg the same as torr?

Almost. One torr is exactly 1/760 atm; one mmHg is about 0.000014% larger. For everyday use they're interchangeable.
