1 Atmosphere = 1.0132 Bar

Key Formulas

Pound per Sq. Inch → Bar

bar = psi × 0.0689476

Bar → Pound per Sq. Inch

psi = bar × 14.5038

Atmosphere → Pound per Sq. Inch

psi = atm × 14.6959

Pound per Sq. Inch → Atmosphere

atm = psi × 0.068046

Formula

bar = atm × 1.01325

One atmosphere (standard sea-level pressure) equals 101,325 pascals. Since one bar equals 100,000 pascals, the conversion is 101,325 ÷ 100,000 = 1.01325 bar per atmosphere. This small difference matters in precision work but is often rounded in everyday applications.
