Quick answer

Pressure is a free, private online tool that lets you convert pressure between pascals, kPa, bar, psi, atmospheres and mmHg. It runs entirely in your browser, so nothing you enter is uploaded to a server.

How to use the Pressure

  1. Enter the number you want to convert in the Value field.
  2. Pick the unit you're converting From and the unit you want To.
  3. Read the converted result, or use to swap the two units.
  4. Check the All units table to see your value expressed in every supported unit at once.

About Pressure

Common pressure units

Pascals (SI), bar and atmospheres (weather, diving), psi (tyres, US engineering) and mmHg/torr (blood pressure, vacuum).

Key conversions

1 bar = 100,000 Pa is about 14.5 psi. 1 atm = 101,325 Pa is about 14.7 psi. 1 psi is about 6895 Pa.

Where it helps

Checking tyre pressure across psi and bar, reading weather pressure, and engineering specs.

Frequently asked questions

How many psi in a bar?
About 14.5 psi per bar.
What is 1 atmosphere?
Standard atmospheric pressure: 101,325 Pa or about 14.7 psi.
What is mmHg used for?
Blood pressure and vacuum; 1 mmHg is about 133.3 Pa.

Understanding Pressure in depth

What pressure is and how it's measured

Pressure is force spread over an area, and several units measure it depending on the field. The SI unit is the pascal (one newton per square metre), but it is tiny, so kilopascals and bar are common. Engineers in the US use psi (pounds per square inch), weather and diving use bar and atmospheres, and medicine and vacuum work use mmHg.

How the conversion works

Each unit is defined relative to the pascal, so the tool converts your value to pascals and then to the target unit. The standard ratios are: 1 bar = 100,000 Pa, 1 atmosphere = 101,325 Pa, 1 psi ≈ 6895 Pa, and 1 mmHg ≈ 133.3 Pa. From these, 1 bar ≈ 14.5 psi and 1 atm ≈ 14.7 psi.

Tyre pressure: psi and bar

One of the most common real-world needs is tyre pressure, which is quoted in psi in some countries and bar in others. A typical car tyre at 32 psi is about 2.2 bar. Mixing them up leads to badly inflated tyres, so a quick conversion is genuinely useful before reaching for the pump.

Weather, diving and medicine

Atmospheric pressure in weather reports is given in millibars or hectopascals (they are equal: 1 mbar = 1 hPa = 100 Pa). Scuba divers track pressure in bar or atmospheres as they descend. Blood pressure is measured in mmHg. The converter spans all of these so the same tool serves very different tasks.

Everyday uses

Check tyre pressure across psi and bar, read weather pressure, plan dives, and handle engineering specs. All conversions use standard ratios and run client-side in your browser.
