About this calculator

This pressure converter switches between pascals, bar, atm, psi, and mmHg.

Formula notes

1 atm = 101325 Pa = 1.01325 bar = 14.696 psi = 760 mmHg.

Worked examples

  1. Example: standard tire pressure 32 psi ≈ 2.21 bar ≈ 220.6 kPa.
  2. A tyre pressure of 35 psi is approximately 241.3 kPa or 2.413 bar.

How to use it

  1. Enter the pressure and its unit.
  2. Read all equivalent units at once.
  3. Use psi for tires and atm/bar for science.

Frequently asked questions

Is bar a metric unit?

Yes, it is 100 kPa exactly — close to, but not equal to, one atmosphere.

What does mmHg measure medically?

Blood pressure: 120/80 mmHg is the pressure that supports a mercury column that high.

Limits and interpretation

  • Gauge pressure and absolute pressure use different zero references and cannot be interchanged without atmospheric pressure.
  • Atmospheric pressure varies with weather and elevation, so a standard-atmosphere conversion is a defined reference, not a live reading.
