What is Pressure?
Pressure is the force applied perpendicular to a surface per unit area: P = F / A. The SI unit is the pascal (Pa), equal to one newton per square metre (1 Pa = 1 N/m²). Practical applications use larger units: the bar (1 bar = 100,000 Pa, close to standard atmospheric pressure), atmosphere (atm) (1 atm = 101,325 Pa), and psi (pounds per square inch, used in the US for tire and gas pressures). Blood pressure is measured in mmHg (millimetres of mercury), also called torr.
What is Inch of mercury?
The inch of mercury (symbol: inHg) is a non-SI unit of pressure based on the height of a mercury column one inch high under standard gravity. It is widely used in aviation, meteorology, and vacuum measurement, particularly in the United States and Canada. Although the pascal is the SI unit of pressure, the inch of mercury remains an important unit in many industries. More information is available in the inch of mercury reference.
One inch of mercury is equal to 3,386.39 pascals, 3.38639 kilopascals, 0.0338639 bar, 0.491154 psi, and 25.4 millimeters of mercury. The inch of mercury is commonly used for barometric pressure and vacuum measurements.
What is Pound Force Per Square Inch?
The pound force per square inch (symbol: psi or lbf/in2) is a non-SI unit of pressure equal to one pound-force applied over an area of one square inch. It is one of the most widely used pressure units in the United States for measuring tire pressure, hydraulic systems, compressed gases, and industrial equipment. Although the pascal is the SI unit of pressure, the psi remains the preferred unit in many engineering applications. More information is available in the pounds per square inch article.
One pound force per square inch is equal to 6,894.76 pascals, 6.89476 kilopascals, 0.0689476 bar, 0.068046 standard atmosphere, and 0.0703069 kilogram-force per square centimetre. The psi is one of the world's most recognized units for measuring pressure.
