Convert Pressure
This converter is designed to help you easily convert between different pressure units. Whether you need to convert PSI to Kilopascals, Bar to Atmospheres, or any other combination, our calculator can handle it.
Pressure is a fundamental concept in physics and engineering, and it is a crucial parameter in many industrial and scientific applications.
Understanding pressure conversions is important because it allows us to accurately measure and compare pressures in different units and convert them to a unit that is more convenient for a specific application.
Formulas
The most common units of pressure include: Pascals (Pa), atmospheres (atm), bars (bar), pounds per square inch (psi), and Kilopascals (kPa).
Conversion between these units is based on simple mathematical relationships, for example: 1 atm = 101,325 Pa = 1.01325 bar = 14.696 psi = 101.325 kPa.
Examples
- Example 1: Convert 2 psi to kPa
2 psi x 6.89475729 kPa/psi = 13.78951458 kPa - Example 2: Convert 5 bar to Pa
5 bar x 100,000 Pa/bar = 500,000 Pa - Example 3: Convert 15 atm to psi
15 atm x 14.696 psi/atm = 220.44 psi
Understanding pressure conversions is essential for accurate measurements and comparisons in various fields of science and engineering. With the calculator, formulas, and examples provided, you should now have a better understanding of how to convert between different pressure units.
