What does this tool do?
Bar and psi are both common pressure units, used from tyre gauges to industrial equipment. This converter also gives kilopascals and atmospheres so a reading can be checked against a different scale.
The Formula
psi = bar × 14.5037738; kPa = bar × 100; atm = bar ÷ 1.01325Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between bar and psi?
One bar is 100,000 pascals and one psi is about 6,894.76 pascals, so 1 bar equals about 14.504 psi.
Is tyre pressure gauge or absolute?
Tyre gauges usually show gauge pressure, the difference from atmospheric pressure. Add about 1 bar (14.7 psi) to compare with absolute pressure figures.
