About Pressure Conversions
Pressure is the force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area over which that force is distributed.
The pascal (Pa) is the SI unit of pressure, defined as one newton per square meter. Other common units include bars, atmospheres (atm), pounds per square inch (psi), and millimeters of mercury (mmHg).
Pressure conversion is essential in meteorology, engineering, diving, aviation, and many scientific fields. Different regions and industries often use different pressure units,
making accurate conversion crucial for international collaboration and safety.
Atmospheric pressure at sea level is approximately 101,325 Pa, 1.01325 bar, 1 atm, 14.7 psi, or 760 mmHg.

Pressure Units Explained
Pascal (Pa)
The pascal is the SI unit of pressure, defined as one newton per square meter. It is named after the French mathematician and physicist Blaise Pascal.
Kilopascal (kPa)
A kilopascal is a unit of pressure equal to 1,000 pascals. It is commonly used in meteorology and engineering.
Megapascal (MPa)
A megapascal is a unit of pressure equal to 1,000,000 pascals. It is commonly used in engineering for high-pressure applications.
Bar (bar)
A bar is a metric unit of pressure equal to 100,000 pascals or approximately 0.987 atmospheres. It is commonly used in meteorology and engineering.
Millibar (mbar)
A millibar is a unit of pressure equal to 1/1000 of a bar or 100 pascals. It is commonly used in meteorology.
Atmosphere (atm)
An atmosphere is a unit of pressure equal to 101,325 pascals. It approximates the average atmospheric pressure at sea level on Earth.
