Pressure Units | Overview
Pressure is defined as force per unit area applied in a direction perpendicular to the surface of an object.
Common Pressure Units
- Pascal (Pa)The SI unit of pressure. 1 Newton per square meter.
- BarEqual to 100,000 Pascals. Close to standard atmospheric pressure.
- PSI (psi)Pounds per Square Inch. Common in the US for tires and hydraulics.
- Atmosphere (atm)Standard atmospheric pressure at sea level.
Converting Pressure
1 bar = 100,000 Pa
1 bar ≈ 14.5038 psi
1 atm = 101,325 Pa
1 psi ≈ 6,894.76 Pa
