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
