Pressure Converter
30 conversions available
Convert between Pascal, bar, PSI, atm, mmHg and more.
Most popular pressure conversions
The most searched pressure conversions are bar to psi, psi to bar, and kPa to psi, common in tire pressures and engineering. One bar is about 14.5 psi, and standard atmospheric pressure (1 atm) is 14.7 psi or 101,325 pascals.
Understanding pressure units
Pressure is force per unit area. The pascal is the SI unit, but bars and kilopascals are more practical. PSI leads in US engineering and tire pressures, while atmospheres provide an intuitive sea-level reference. Weather uses hectopascals (millibars).
Quick reference
1 bar = 14.5 psi = 100,000 Pa · 1 atm = 14.7 psi = 101,325 Pa · 1 psi = 6,895 Pa · 1 kPa = 0.145 psi. Use the converter for any exact value.

Frequently asked questions
How do I convert PSI to bar?
Divide by 14.5. A 32 psi tire is about 2.2 bar. Multiply bar by 14.5 to go back to psi.
What is normal atmospheric pressure?
About 1,013 hPa (1.013 bar, 14.7 psi) at sea level. Weather systems shift it a few percent — below ~1,000 hPa usually signals unsettled weather.
Why is blood pressure measured in mmHg?
Early instruments used a mercury column, and medicine kept the unit. 120/80 mmHg means the column rose 120 and 80 millimeters — about 16 and 10.7 kPa.
