Frequently asked questions

How many psi is one bar?

1 bar = 14.5038 psi. The conversion is exact: 1 bar = 100,000 pascal, and 1 psi = 6,894.757 pascal.

What's the difference between bar and atmosphere?

A bar is defined as exactly 100,000 Pa. A standard atmosphere is 101,325 Pa — about 1.3% higher. Bars are common in weather and diving; atmospheres are common in chemistry and physics.

Is mmHg still used?

Yes — blood pressure is still universally reported in mmHg (e.g., 120/80), and vacuum systems are often specified in mmHg or torr (which is almost identical).

Why do US weather reports use inches of mercury?

Historical US convention. Altimeters in US aviation and US weather broadcasts still use inches of mercury; most other countries use hectopascals (hPa) or millibars.
