How pressure converter works

Pressure is force per unit area, and many units exist for it across science, engineering, and meteorology: pascals (the SI unit), bars, atmospheres, pounds per square inch (psi), millimetres of mercury (mmHg, used in blood pressure), and inches of water. Each relates to the others by a fixed factor.

This converter expresses every unit in pascals first, then converts to the target unit. It supports pascals, hectopascals, kilopascals, megapascals, bar, millibar, atmosphere, psi, mmHg, torr (numerically equal to mmHg), and inches of water. The conversions use standard exact factors (1 atm = 101325 Pa, 1 psi โ‰ˆ 6894.76 Pa, and so on).

Enter a value, choose the source and target units, and the tool returns the converted value plus the equivalent in pascals. Use it for tyre pressure, weather readings, blood pressure, diving, and engineering calculations.

Frequently asked questions

What is the relationship between atm and pascals?
1 standard atmosphere is defined as 101325 pascals exactly. The converter uses this exact factor, so 1 atm converts to 101325 Pa and to about 14.696 psi.
Are mmHg and torr the same?
For practical purposes yes โ€” 1 torr is defined as 1/760 of an atmosphere, which equals about 133.322 Pa, the same as 1 mmHg. The converter treats them identically.
What is psi used for?
Pounds per square inch โ€” common in the US for tyre pressure, gas cylinders, and hydraulic systems. 1 psi is about 6894.76 pascals.
What is inH2O?
Inches of water โ€” a small pressure unit used in HVAC and fluid systems. 1 inH2O is about 249 pascals.
