Understanding Pressure Converter

Pressure Fundamentals

Pressure is force per area (P = F/A). Pascal (Pa) is the SI unit. Atmospheric pressure at sea level is about 101,325 Pa.

Atmospheric Pressure

Standard atmosphere (atm) represents average sea-level pressure. Weather reports use millibars or inHg.

Industrial Applications

PSI is common for tire pressure and hydraulics. Bar is used in meteorology and engineering.

Medical/Scientific

Blood pressure uses mmHg. Vacuum systems use torr (1/760 of an atmosphere).

TL;DR — Pressure Units Explained

Key conversions: 1 atm = 101.325 kPa = 14.7 psi = 760 mmHg. Tire pressure is typically 32-35 psi (2.2-2.4 bar).Blood pressure 120/80 mmHg = 16/10.7 kPa.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is PSI?

Pounds per Square Inch. Tire pressure is typically 30-35 PSI. 1 PSI = 6894.76 Pascals.

What is standard atmosphere?

1 atm = 101,325 Pa = 14.696 PSI = 760 mmHg. Average pressure at sea level.

What is normal blood pressure in kPa?

120/80 mmHg = 16/10.7 kPa. Medical measurements use mmHg traditionally.

Bar vs PSI for tires?

European tires use bar (2.0-2.5 bar typical), US uses PSI (30-35 PSI). 1 bar ≈ 14.5 PSI.

What is vacuum pressure?

Vacuum is pressure below atmospheric. Measured in torr or mbar. Perfect vacuum = 0 absolute pressure.
