How this was calculated
- 1To pascal32 psi ร 6,894.7573 = 220,632.23 Pa
- 2To barรท 100,000 = 2.2063 bar
Formula
Result = value ร (from-factor รท to-factor), relative to the pascal
Every pressure unit has a fixed factor to the pascal, the SI unit: 1 bar = 100,000 Pa, 1 psi = 6,894.757 Pa, 1 atm = 101,325 Pa. The calculator converts your value to pascal first and then to the target unit.
Step by step
- 1Enter the pressure value.
- 2Choose the unit you convert from (e.g. psi).
- 3Choose the target unit (e.g. bar) and read the result.

Common tyre pressures. 1 bar = 100 kPa โ 14.5 psi.
Common mistakes
- Confusing psi and bar: 1 bar โ 14.5 psi, so the numbers differ a lot.
- Mixing up absolute and gauge pressure (whether atmosphere is included).
- Reading kPa as bar: 100 kPa = 1 bar, not 100 bar.
When to use it
- Converting tyre pressure from psi (US manual) to bar.
- Checking compressor or line pressure in kPa or bar.
- Converting technical specs to SI units (pascal).
Frequently asked questions
