Discover the ease of converting psi to bar using Newtum's precise Pound-force Square Inch to Bar Converter. Get curious? Dive in to learn more!
Pound-force per square inch (psi) is a unit of pressure that quantifies the amount of force applied over one square inch of area. It is commonly used in the United States and by engineers to measure pressure in various systems like car tires, scuba tanks, or natural gas pipelines.
Definition of BarA bar is a metric unit of pressure, defined as exactly 100,000 Pascals. This unit is not part of the International System of Units (SI) but is accepted for use with it. One bar is roughly equivalent to the atmospheric pressure on Earth at sea level.
| Pound-force per Square Inch (psi) | Bar |
|---|---|
| 1 psi | 0.06895 bar |
| 5 psi | 0.34473 bar |
| 10 psi | 0.68948 bar |
| 15 psi | 1.03422 bar |
| 20 psi | 1.37895 bar |
| 30 psi | 2.06843 bar |
| 40 psi | 2.75791 bar |
| 50 psi | 3.44739 bar |
| 75 psi | 5.17109 bar |
| 100 psi | 6.89476 bar |
1 psi = 0.06895 bar
1 bar = 14.5038 psi
Example 1:
convert 30 psi to bar:
30 psi = 30 x 0.06895 bar = 2.0685 bar
Example 2:
convert 75 psi to bar:
75 psi = 75 x 0.06895 bar = 5.17125 bar
The Pound-force per Square Inch to Bar conversion tool has its roots in the need to standardize pressure measurements across different industries and scientific fields. This conversion became particularly important with the global exchange of technical information and the expansion of international trade.
Explore the real-life applications of converting psi to bar and understand its significance across various industries.
Example 1:
To convert 45 psi to bar, the calculation is 45 psi x 0.06895 = 3.10275 bar.
Example 2:
To convert 60 psi to bar, the calculation is 60 psi x 0.06895 = 4.137 bar.
