What is Pressure?

Pressure is the amount of force applied per unit area. It plays a crucial role in physics, engineering, meteorology, fluid mechanics, aviation, and many other fields. Understanding pressure is vital for interpreting weather patterns, designing machinery, and ensuring the safety of systems involving liquids and gases.

The SI unit of pressure is the Pascal (Pa), defined as one newton per square meter. However, other pressure units such as atmospheres, bars, millibars, inches of mercury, and psi are used in various industries and regions depending on the application.

p = F / A

• P is the pressure
• F is the force applied perpendicular to the surface
• A is the area over which the force is distributed

Here’s how some of the commonly used pressure units relate to one another:

• 1 atm = 101,325 Pascals
• 1 bar = 100,000 Pascals
• 1 psi = 6,894.76 Pascals
• 1 Torr = 133.322 Pascals
• 1 inHg ≈ 3,386.39 Pascals
• 1 millibar = 100 Pascals

With our Pressure Converter, you don’t have to memorize these conversion factors. Just enter a value, and the tool does the rest—quickly, accurately, and effortlessly.

2. Bar

Bar is a metric unit of pressure, slightly less than an atmosphere. 1 bar = 100,000 Pascals. It is commonly used in weather forecasting and engineering applications.

3. Inches of Mercury (inHg)

Inch of Mercury measures pressure based on the height of a column of mercury. It is mainly used in meteorology and aviation. 1 inHg = 3,386.39 Pascals.

4. Millibar (mbar)

Millibar is widely used in weather reports and equals 100 Pascals. 1 bar = 1000 millibars.

5. Pascal (Pa)

Pascal is the SI unit of pressure. It is defined as one newton per square meter. Often used in science and engineering. 1 Pa = 1 N/m².

6. Pounds per Square Inch (psi)

PSI is an imperial unit commonly used in the United States for tire pressure, hydraulics, and industrial machinery. 1 psi = 6,894.76 Pascals.

7. Torr

Torr is used in high-vacuum physics and is named after Evangelista Torricelli. 1 Torr = 1/760 of an atmosphere or approximately 133.322 Pascals.

Pressure Conversion Formulas

How to Convert Pressure Units? – Explained with Examples

Pressure unit conversions are vital in meteorology, engineering, physics, and everyday measurements like tire pressure or barometric readings. This guide will help you easily convert between different pressure units with simple formulas and examples.

1. How to Convert Atmospheres to Pascals?

To convert atmospheres (atm) to pascals (Pa), multiply by 101,325. Formula: Pa = atm × 101,325 Example: 2 atm × 101,325 = 202,650 Pa

2. How to Convert Bars to Pascals?

To convert bars to pascals, multiply by 100,000. Formula: Pa = bars × 100,000 Example: 1.5 bar × 100,000 = 150,000 Pa

3. How to Convert Inches of Mercury to Pascals?

To convert inHg (inches of mercury) to pascals, multiply by 3,386.39. Formula: Pa = inHg × 3,386.39 Example: 30 inHg × 3,386.39 = 101,591.7 Pa

4. How to Convert Millibars to Pascals?

To convert millibars to pascals, multiply by 100. Formula: Pa = millibars × 100 Example: 1013.25 mb × 100 = 101,325 Pa

5. How to Convert Pascals to Psi?

To convert pascals to pounds per square inch (psi), divide by 6,894.76. Formula: psi = Pa ÷ 6,894.76 Example: 137,895 Pa ÷ 6,894.76 = 20 psi

6. How to Convert Psi to Bars?

To convert psi to bars, divide by 14.5038. Formula: bar = psi ÷ 14.5038 Example: 29 psi ÷ 14.5038 = 2 bar (approx.)
