What is the pressure converter?
The pressure converter is a collection of calculators for changing one pressure unit into another. Convert pressure units for tires, weather, hydraulics, engineering, pumps, and industrial measurements.
Pressure conversions are useful for tires, weather reports, barometers, hydraulics, compressed air systems, pumps, and engineering specifications.
Available pressure units
This category includes the following units:
- Pascal (Pa)
- Kilopascal (kPa)
- Bar (bar)
- Pound per Square Inch (psi)
- Standard Atmosphere (atm)
- Torr (Torr)
Common pressure use cases
Use this category when the same measurement appears in different unit systems, data sheets, calculators, reports, or regional conventions.
- Pressure conversions help compare measurements across specifications, calculators, labels, and technical references.
- Use this category when source data and target documents use different pressure units.
- The dedicated conversion pages show formulas, examples, tables, related pages, and FAQ for individual unit pairs.

Pascal (Pa)
A pascal is the SI pressure unit equal to one newton per square meter. It is used in physics, engineering, and scientific pressure measurements.
Browse pascals conversionsKilopascal (kPa)
A kilopascal is a metric pressure unit equal to 1,000 pascals. It is commonly used for weather, tire pressure in some regions, and engineering data.

A bar is a pressure unit close to atmospheric pressure. It is often used for tires, compressed air, scuba equipment, pumps, and industrial systems.
Browse bar conversionsPound per Square Inch (psi)
Pounds per square inch is a pressure unit commonly used in the United States for tires, hydraulics, compressed air, and gauges.
Browse psi conversionsStandard Atmosphere (atm)
A standard atmosphere is a pressure unit based on average atmospheric pressure at sea level. It is commonly used as a reference in science and engineering.
Browse atm conversionsTorr (Torr)
A torr is a pressure unit often used in vacuum measurement, laboratory work, and applications where pressure is compared with millimeters of mercury.

Most wrong answers come from mixing unit systems, rounding too early, or choosing a unit that looks similar but means something different.
- Do not drop gauge or absolute labels such as psig, psia, barg, or bara when the source provides them.
- Do not use rounded pressure factors near safety limits, tire recommendations, regulator settings, or calibration records.
- Check whether the source value is pressure, vacuum, or differential pressure before comparing readings.

How pressure conversion works
Pressure conversions use a standard reference unit as the bridge between source and target units, so each page can show both the direct formula and practical examples.
