Key Formulas
Pound per Sq. Inch → Bar
bar = psi × 0.0689476Bar → Pound per Sq. Inch
psi = bar × 14.5038Atmosphere → Pound per Sq. Inch
psi = atm × 14.6959Pound per Sq. Inch → Atmosphere
atm = psi × 0.068046Formula
Pa = kPa × 1000A kilopascal equals 1000 pascals — metric prefix 'kilo' means 1000. Engineering specifications for structural loading, soil pressure, and hydraulic systems often use kPa while raw calculations need Pa. Concrete bearing capacity, tire pressure, and HVAC ductwork are commonly specified in kPa.
