Introduction

A simple technique to convert between the pressure units of atm, mmHg, torr, kPa, and psi.

Converting Between Pressure Units

You can use Utmel's Pressure Conversion to calculate measurement units: bar, pascal (Pa or N/m2), pounds per square inch (psi), millimeters of water column (mm H2O), inches of water column (in H2O), inches of mercury column (in Hg), kilogram per square centimeter (kg/cm2), and pound per square foot (PSF). 

Pressure is defined as the force per unit area acting on a surface in a perpendicular direction. Pascal is the unit (Pa).

The pressure conversion calculator makes it simple to convert between the various units in which pressure can be expressed. Pressure is defined as the force applied perpendicular to the surface divided by the area over which it is applied. This tool contains different units used around the world for a smooth pressure conversion experience.


The most frequently used pressure units


The most frequently used units of pressure are pascal (Pa), kilopascal (kPa), megapascal (MPa), psi (pound per square inch), torr (mmHg), atm (atmospheric pressure), and bar.


Atmosphere (atm) equals the air pressure at the sea level at a temperature of 15 Celsius.

Bar is a metric pressure unit and equals 100 kilopascals which are almost equal to the atmospheric pressure.

Inch of Mercury (inHg) is the pressure exerted by a column of mercury 1 inch (25.4 mm) in height.

Kilopascal (kPa) is a frequently used pressure unit and equals 1000 newton per square meter (metre).

Pascal is the unit of pressure in the metric system and is equal to 1 newton per square meter.

Psi is a pressure unit and equals the force of one pound applied to one square inch.

Frequently Asked Questions

1.What are the 5 units of pressure?

The most frequently used units of pressure are pascal (Pa), kilopascal (kPa), megapascal (MPa), psi (pound per square inch), torr (mmHg), atm (atmospheric pressure), and bar.

2.What is the unit of pressure?

For pressure, the SI system's basic unit is Pascal (Pa), which is N/m² (Newton per square meter, while Newton is kgm/s²). Pascal is a very small pressure unit and for example, the standard atmospheric pressure is 101325 Pa absolute.

3.How do you convert psi to LBS force?

PSI is a unit of measure for pressure, and pressure (PSI) is the amount of force (lbf) applied per unit of area (in2). The equations below illustrate this. To convert PSI to lbs, simply multiply the pressure by the area over which the force is applied.

4.How much pressure is a Newton?

The SI unit of the pressure is the pascal with the formula sign Pa. 1 Pascal is equal to the pressure of 1 newton per square meter. 1 Pa = 1 N / m2 ≡ 1 kg / m · s2.

5.How vacuum pressure is measured?

Vacuum pressure is measured relative to ambient atmospheric pressure. It is referred to as pounds per square inch (vacuum) or PSIV. The electrical output of a vacuum pressure transducer is 0 VDC at 0 PSIV (14.7 PSIA) and full-scale output (typically 5 VDC) at full-scale vacuum, 14.7 (0 PSIA).

6.What is meant by Pascal?

A pascal is a unit of pressure, where one pascal is equal to the force of one newton exerted on one square meter. A pascal is a unit of pressure, where one pascal is equal to the force of one newton exerted on one square meter.

7.What is the SI unit of force and pressure?

Pressure—the effect of a force applied to a surface—is a derived unit, obtained from combining base units. The unit of pressure in the SI system is the pascal (Pa), defined as a force of one Newton per square meter. The conversion between atm, Pa, and torr is as follows: 1 atm = 101325 Pa = 760 torr.

8.How much psi can a human take?

The body is a lot more resilient than you think. The human body can withstand 50 psi (pounds per square inch) and that's if it's a sudden impact. However if it's sustained pressure, the body can withstand up to 400 psi if the weight is gradually increased.

9.What is pressure and how is it calculated?

Pressure and force are related, and so you can calculate one if you know the other by using the physics equation, P = F/A. Because pressure is force divided by area, its meter-kilogram-second (MKS) units are newtons per square meter or N/m2. If you convert an atmosphere to pounds per square inch, it's about 14.7 psi.

10.What is a perfect vacuum in PSI?

At atmospheric pressure, the value 0 in. -Hg is equivalent to 14.7 psia. At the opposite reference point, 0 psia, — a perfect vacuum (if it could be attained) — would have a value equal to the other extreme of its range, 29.92 in. -Hg.
