How to convert bar to PSI

  1. Enter the pressure in bar. The default is 1.
  2. Keep From as Bar and To as PSI, or pick kilopascals, atmospheres, or torr.
  3. Read PSI. Multiply bar by 100000 / 6894.757293168.
  4. Swap units to convert PSI back to bar, or open PSI to bar.

What bar to PSI does

This spoke locks pressure on bar to PSI. A bar is a round metric multiple of the pascal, 1e5 Pa, close to but not equal to one standard atmosphere (101325 Pa). PSI uses 6894.757293168 Pa per pound-force per square inch. One bar is about 14.5038 PSI. The reverse spoke is PSI to bar.

The hub is pressure. Force without area is force.

Bar and PSI factors

psi = bar × 100000 / 6894.757293168. bar = psi × 6894.757293168 / 100000. kPa = bar × 100. atm = bar × 100000 / 101325. The engine does not know whether your number is gauge or absolute. Type the same kind on both sides.

Bar, atmosphere, and gauge pressure

Hydraulic and tire specs outside the US often quote bar. US tires quote PSI. 1 atm is 1.01325 bar, not 1 bar. A gauge that reads 2 bar above air is not 2 bar absolute. This converter will not add 14.7 PSI for you.

When to convert bar to PSI here

Read a 2.5 bar tire as PSI, check a cylinder rating, or swap to kilopascals. Leave METAR and altimeters off this page.

What this page does not do

It is not a weather station. It does not convert gauge to absolute. It does not convert force or torque. Input stays in this tab.

Bar to PSI questions

How many PSI are in 1 bar?
About 14.5038 PSI, from 100000 / 6894.757293168.
Is 1 bar the same as 1 atm?
No. 1 atm is 101325 Pa. 1 bar is 100000 Pa.
Where is PSI to bar?
Swap, or open PSI to bar.
Does Swap add atmospheric pressure?
No. It only exchanges From and To.
Can I convert torr here?
Yes. Torr is on the list.
Is this a tire inflation advisor?
No. It only converts the number you type.
