Pressure Unit Conversion Calculator Applications

This calculator applies when attempting to express a pressure measurement in a number of different units. This can be useful when working with pressure sensors in an electronic circuit, designing mechanical parts, or modeling a physical system.

 

Units of Pressure

This calculator converts between the following units of pressure:

  • Pascal (Pa) = 1 N/m2
  • Bar (bar)
  • Kilogram per square centimeter (kg/cm2)
  • Millimeters of mercury (mm Hg)
  • Inches of mercury (in Hg)
  • Pound per square inch (lb/in2)
  • Pound per square foot (lb/ft2)
  • Millimeters of water column at 4 °C (mm H20)
  • Inches of water column at 4 °C (mm H20)
  • Standard atmosphere (atm)


Pressure Conversion Factors

The following table (Table 1) provides the conversion factors to convert from one unit of pressure to another:
