- Illustration of Division:
- Pa = psi ÷ 0.00014503774389728311
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 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.
What is Pascal?
A pascal (Pa) is the SI unit of pressure, equal to one newton per square metre (1 N/m²). Named after the French mathematician and physicist Blaise Pascal, the pascal measures the amount of force applied over a given area. It is the standard unit for pressure, stress, and elastic modulus in science, engineering, meteorology, and many industrial applications.
One pascal represents a relatively small amount of pressure, so larger multiples such as kilopascals (kPa), megapascals (MPa), and gigapascals (GPa) are commonly used in engineering and industry. The pascal is part of the International System of Units (SI) and provides a consistent standard for pressure measurements worldwide.
Pascals are widely used to measure atmospheric pressure, fluid pressure, tire pressure (often expressed in kilopascals), material strength, hydraulic systems, and engineering calculations. The unit also plays an important role in structural engineering, mechanical design, aerospace, and scientific research.
