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
kPa = Pa ÷ 1000A kilopascal is 1000 pascals — the pascal (Pa) is the SI unit of pressure, named after Blaise Pascal. 1 kPa ≈ 0.145 psi, making it useful for engineering calculations where psi and kPa need to be compared. Meteorology, hydraulics, and materials testing commonly use kPa.
