Pressure Converter
Pressure across pascals, bar, psi, atmospheres and millimetres of mercury. Tyre pressure, blood pressure and weather pressure all live in different units for historical reasons rather than technical ones.
Also called: bar to psi, kpa to psi, tyre pressure converter.
Result
14.503774
1 Bar is 14.503774 Pound per square inch. The factor is 14.503773773, and the inverse is 0.0689475729. The table below gives the same value in every pressure unit at once.

Method and background
How this is calculated
The pascal is one newton per square metre and everything is held against it. The mercury units come from the barometer, where pressure was literally read as the height of a mercury column, which is why blood pressure is still quoted in millimetres of a metal nobody uses in instruments any more.
result = value * factor_from / factor_to- k
- Each unit's size in pascal
