Understanding Pressure Conversion
Pressure conversion is a crucial calculation in fields ranging from meteorology to engineering. Our Pressure Converter simplifies this process, making it accessible for everyone from students to professionals.
Why Convert Pressure Units?
Different industries and regions use different pressure measurements. While scientists typically use Pascals, meteorologists use bars or atmospheres, and engineers often prefer PSI. Converting between these units is essential for accurate communication and calculations across disciplines.
Common Pressure Units Explained
Pascal (Pa)
The SI unit of pressure, defined as one newton per square meter. Used in scientific contexts worldwide.
Bar
Equal to 100,000 Pascals. Commonly used in meteorology and for atmospheric pressure measurements.
Atmosphere (atm)
Defined as the pressure at sea level on Earth. 1 atm is approximately 101,325 Pascals.
PSI
Pounds per square inch. Widely used in engineering, particularly in the United States.

- Automotive tire pressure maintenance
- Medical equipment calibration
Atmospheric Pressure
Standard atmospheric pressure at sea level is 101,325 Pa or 14.7 PSI
Tire Pressure
Car tires typically require 30-35 PSI (207-241 kPa) of pressure
Deep Sea Pressure
At 10,000m depth, pressure reaches about 1,000 atm or 100 MPa
