Pressure converter — bar, psi, pascal and atmospheres
Tyre pressures in psi or bar, weather charts in hectopascals, blood pressure in mmHg, process lines in MPa — ten pressure units that rarely appear together anywhere else.
How to use it
- 1
Type into any row — say bar or psi. The results appear immediately, no button needed.
- 2
Need a combined figure? Fill in two rows, for example bar and kPa, and they are added together before converting.
- 3
Set how many digits you want (4–12) and click a result to copy the plain number.
Exact conversion factors
These are the definitions the calculator uses. Nothing here is rounded for convenience — where a value is exact by definition, it says so.
- 1 bar = 100 000 Pa = 100 kPa = 14.5037738 psi
- 1 atm = 101 325 Pa exactly = 1.01325 bar = 14.6959488 psi = 760 Torr (759.99989 mmHg)
- 1 psi = 6894.757293168 Pa = 0.0689475729 bar
- 1 mmHg = 133.322387415 Pa · 1 inHg = 3386.388640341 Pa
- 1 hPa = 1 mbar — identical sizes
Pa = bar × 100 000 · psi = bar × 14.5037738 · Pa = psi × 6894.757293 · atm = Pa ÷ 101 325Pressure conversion table — every unit

How this converter works
Two numbers cover most everyday work: 1 bar is 14.5 psi, and standard atmospheric pressure is 1013.25 mbar or 14.7 psi. A car tyre at 2.2 bar is sitting at 31.9 psi, which is why both scales appear on garage gauges.
Everything on the page is gauge-independent — it converts the number you type, not the reference it was measured against. If your source reads in absolute pressure (bara, psia) and your target expects gauge (barg, psig), subtract one atmosphere before or after converting; the converter cannot know which you meant.
Notes and abbreviations
- 1 bar = 100 kPa = 14.504 psi
- 1 atm = 101.325 kPa = 760 mmHg = 14.696 psi
- mbar and hPa are the same size — weather maps use them interchangeably
Questions
What tyre pressure is 32 psi in bar?
2.2063 bar. Going back, 2.5 bar is 36.2594 psi.
Are hPa and mbar the same?
Yes, exactly. A reading of 1013 hPa and 1013 mbar describe identical pressure.
Does this handle absolute versus gauge pressure?
It converts magnitudes only. For gauge to absolute, add 1.01325 bar yourself.
