Discover the ease of converting atmospheric pressure with our ATM to PSI converter, meticulously crafted by Newtum to provide accurate and user-friendly conversions.
An atmosphere (atm) is a unit of measurement that represents the average air pressure at sea level on Earth. It is equivalent to the pressure exerted by a one-centimeter-high column of mercury at 0 degrees Celsius. One atmosphere is standardized as 101.325 kPa (kiloPascals) and is used as a reference for measuring other pressures.
Definition of PSIPound-force per square inch (PSI) is a unit of pressure in the Imperial system of measurement. It quantifies the force of one pound applied to an area of one square inch. PSI is commonly used to measure the pressure in car tires, hydraulic systems, and industrial processes. It provides an indication of the level of force exerted within a confined space.
| Standard Atmosphere (atm) | Pound-force per Square Inch (psi) |
|---|---|
| 0.1 atm | 1.47 psi |
| 0.2 atm | 2.94 psi |
| 0.3 atm | 4.42 psi |
| 0.4 atm | 5.89 psi |
| 0.5 atm | 7.36 psi |
| 0.6 atm | 8.84 psi |
| 0.7 atm | 10.31 psi |
| 0.8 atm | 11.79 psi |
| 0.9 atm | 13.26 psi |
| 1.0 atm | 14.7 psi |
Example 1:
Convert 1 atm to psi:
1 atm = 14.7 psi
Example 2:
Convert 2 atm to psi:
2 atm = 2 × 14.7 psi = 29.4 psi
The history of the Standard Atmosphere to Pound-force square Inch (PSI) Converter traces back to the need for a common reference for pressure measurements in various scientific and industrial fields, facilitating accurate and standardized conversions between units.
Explore real-life scenarios where converting atmospheric pressure from Standard Atmosphere to PSI is crucial.
Example 1:
To convert 1.5 atm to psi:
1.5 atm = 1.5 × 14.7 psi = 22.05 psi
Example 2:
To convert 3 atm to psi:
3 atm = 3 × 14.7 psi = 44.1 psi
