Pressure Measurement and Conversion
Pressure conversion is critical in engineering, automotive, aerospace, and scientific applications. Our converter handles absolute, gauge, and vacuum measurements.
Pressure Units
Pascal (Pa) is the SI unit, but practical applications use bar, PSI, atmospheres, and mmHg. Each serves specific industries and applications.
Gauge vs. Absolute
Gauge pressure measures relative to atmospheric pressure (0 PSI = 14.7 PSIA). Absolute pressure includes atmospheric pressure in the measurement.
Applications by Unit
PSI: tire pressure, hydraulics. Bar: meteorology, scuba diving. mmHg: blood pressure, vacuum systems. kPa: engineering, scientific work.
Vacuum Measurements
Vacuum systems use torr, mmHg, and microns. Perfect vacuum = 0 absolute pressure. Industrial vacuums rarely achieve perfect vacuum.
Common Applications
Automotive (tire pressure), medical (blood pressure), meteorology, hydraulic systems, pneumatics, vacuum technology, and HVAC.
Conversion Tips
1 bar ≈ 14.5 PSI. Standard atmospheric pressure: 1013.25 mbar, 14.696 PSI, or 760 mmHg. Check if measurements are gauge or absolute.
