Pascals (Pa):
Definition: The pascal is the SI unit for pressure. It is defined as one newton per square meter. It determines the quantity of force per unit area.
Conversion Factor: 1 (Base Unit)
Applications: Physics, engineering, and meteorology all use it to measure pressure.
Kilopascals (kPa):
Definition: A kilopascal is equal to 1,000 pascals. It often helps better describe pressures than with the base unit.
Conversion Factor: 1000.000000
Commonly Used For: Tire pressure, weather forecasts and many industrial applications.
Megapascals (MPa):
Description: A megapascal is a force equal to one million pascals. It is commonly used for high-pressure measurements.
Conversion Factor: 1000000.000000
Commonly used For: Hydraulic systems, material strength testing, and engineering.
Bars (bar):
Description: A bar is a metric unit of pressure which is approximately the same atmospheric pressure at sea level.
Conversion Factor: 100000.000000
Commonly used for: Weather forecasting, scuba diving, and engineering
Millibars (mbar):
Description: A millibar is the thousandth part of one bar; it is the unit of measure used most often in meteorology.
Conversion Factor: 100.000000
Common Uses: To take readings of atmospheric pressure, weather maps, and forecasting.
Atmospheres (atm):
Description: An atmosphere represents a unit of pressure that, by definition, is exactly equivalent to the average atmospheric pressure as defined at sea level on Earth.
Conversion Factor: 101325.000000
Common Uses: Chemistry, scuba diving, and engineering.
Torr (Torr):
Definition : Torr is a measure of pressure. It is defined as 1/760th of an atmosphere. Torr was named after the inventor of the barometer, Evangelista Torricelli .
Conversion Factor : 133.322000
Common Applications include Vacuum measurement, Laboratory experiments, and physics.
Pounds per square inch (psi):
Definition: PSI is a unit measure of pressure. It measures the force exerted over a square inch area.
Conversion Factor : 6894.760000
Common Applications include Tire pressure, hydraulic systems, and industrial applications.
Newtons per square meter (N/m²):
Definition: It is also known as the pascal. It is the force of one newton acting over the area of a one square meter.
Conversion Factor: 1.000000
Applications in: Engineering, physics, and material science.
Millimeters of mercury (mmHg):
Definition: It is a unit pertaining to pressure that is derived from the height of the column of mercury and is primarily used in medicine and weather forecasting.
Conversion Factor: 133.322000
Applications in: Blood pressure, barometric pressure, and lab measurements.
