Understanding Pressure Units
Pressure is force applied perpendicular to a surface per unit area. Different industries and regions use various units to measure pressure:
Common Pressure Units
- Pascal (Pa): SI base unit, 1 Pa = 1 N/m²
- Bar: Metric unit, approximately equal to atmospheric pressure
- PSI: Pounds per square inch, common in the US
- Atmosphere (atm): Based on average atmospheric pressure at sea level
- Torr/mmHg: Based on mercury column height, used in medicine
Conversion Formulas
- 1 bar = 100,000 Pa = 14.5 psi = 0.987 atm
- 1 psi = 6,895 Pa = 0.0689 bar = 0.068 atm
- 1 atm = 101,325 Pa = 1.013 bar = 14.7 psi
