How to convert pressure
All 25 pressure units are converted through a single base unit, so any unit can be converted to any other. Enter a value, choose the units and press Convert, or open a conversion page for the exact factor and a reference table.
For example, 1 pascal (Pa) = 0.000145038 psi (psi).
Pressure unit definitions
- Pascal (Pa)
- The pascal is the SI unit of pressure, one newton per square meter. It is a small unit: atmospheric pressure is about 101,325 Pa.
- Kilopascal (kPa)
- A kilopascal is 1,000 pascals. Tyre pressures in metric countries and weather pressures are often given in kPa; standard atmospheric pressure is 101.325 kPa.
- Megapascal (MPa)
- A megapascal is one million pascals, or one newton per square millimeter. Material strengths and hydraulic pressures are specified in MPa.
- Hectopascal (hPa)
- A hectopascal is 100 pascals, identical to a millibar. Weather forecasts report atmospheric pressure in hPa, typically around 1,013.
- Bar (bar)
- A bar is exactly 100,000 pascals, very close to average atmospheric pressure at sea level. Tyre pressures and scuba tanks are often rated in bar.
- Millibar (mbar)
- A millibar is one thousandth of a bar, exactly 100 pascals (1 hPa). It is the traditional unit on weather maps.
- Psi (psi)
- Pounds per square inch is the pressure of one pound-force on an area of one square inch, about 6,895 pascals. Tyre pressures in the United States are given in psi.
- Ksi (ksi)
- A ksi is 1,000 psi, about 6.895 megapascals. It is used for the strength of steel and other materials in US engineering.
- Inch of Mercury (inHg)
- An inch of mercury is about 3,386 pascals. US weather reports and aircraft altimeters give barometric pressure in inHg, typically near 29.92.
- Inch of Water (inH₂O)
- An inch of water is the pressure of a column of water 1 inch high, about 249 pascals. It is used for ventilation ducts and low gas pressures.
- Atmosphere (atm)
- A standard atmosphere is defined as exactly 101,325 pascals, roughly the average air pressure at sea level. It is about 14.7 psi or 1.013 bar.
- Mm of Mercury (mmHg)
- A millimeter of mercury is the pressure exerted by a column of mercury 1 mm high, about 133.3 pascals. Blood pressure is measured in mmHg.
- Torr (Torr)
- A torr is 1/760 of a standard atmosphere, about 133.3 pascals, and is nearly identical to a millimeter of mercury. It is common in vacuum work.
