Unit converters

Pressure converter

Enter a value, choose a source and target unit, and the converter recalculates pressure between any pair of eight units: pascals, kilopascals, megapascals, bar, atmospheres, psi, millimeters of mercury and torr.

Facts and limits of this method

Base unit Pascal — all other units convert through it
1 atmosphere 101,325 Pa (standard atmospheric pressure at sea level)
1 bar 100,000 Pa (close to, but not equal to, 1 atmosphere)
1 psi ≈6894.757 Pa (pound-force per square inch)
1 mmHg ≈133.322 Pa (millimeter of mercury)
Total units 8 — Pa, kPa, MPa, bar, atm, psi, mmHg, torr

When it misleads you

How it is calculated

Each of the eight units has a preset conversion factor to pascals — for example, 1 atmosphere = 101,325 Pa, 1 psi ≈ 6894.757 Pa.

The entered value is multiplied by the factor of the selected "from" unit, giving pressure in pascals.

The pressure in pascals is divided by the factor of the "to" unit, giving the result in the target unit.

The result is rounded to the chosen number of decimal places and updates instantly whenever the value, units or precision change.

Questions and answers

Are an atmosphere and a bar the same thing?

No, they're close but distinct units: 1 atmosphere = 101,325 Pa, while 1 bar = 100,000 Pa — a difference of about 1.3%.

What's the difference between a torr and a millimeter of mercury?

Historically they're independently defined units with very close values (differing at the sixth decimal place); for the vast majority of practical purposes they can be treated as interchangeable.

Where is psi used?

Pound-force per square inch is the standard pressure unit in the US, commonly seen on tire gauges, compressors and in technical documentation for American equipment.
