Atmosphere To PSI Converter

Effortlessly Convert Atmospheric Pressure: From ATM to PSI

Discover the ease of converting atmospheric pressure with our ATM to PSI converter, meticulously crafted by Newtum to provide accurate and user-friendly conversions.

What are Atmosphere and PSI

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.

Pound-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.
