FAQ

How many pascals are in 1 standard atmosphere?

1 standard atmosphere (atm) = 101,325 pascals (Pa), i.e. 101.325 kPa. Standard atmosphere is defined as the pressure exerted by a mercury column 760 mm high at sea level and 0°C, with a mercury density of 13.5951 g/cm³. In everyday terms, standard atmosphere is approximately 1.01325 bar or 14.696 psi.

How do I convert between bar and Pa?

1 bar = 100,000 Pa = 100 kPa = 0.1 MPa. Bar is a very commonly used unit in engineering because its magnitude is close to standard atmospheric pressure (1 bar ≈ 0.9869 atm), making it convenient for everyday use. In meteorology, millibar (mbar) is commonly used: 1 mbar = 1 hPa = 100 Pa.

How do I convert tire pressure between psi, bar, and kgf/cm²?

Common tire pressure unit conversions: 1 bar ≈ 14.504 psi, 1 kgf/cm² ≈ 14.223 psi, and 1 bar ≈ 1.0197 kgf/cm² (they are very close). For example, a common recommended car tire pressure of 2.2 bar equals approximately 31.9 psi or 2.24 kgf/cm². US and European vehicles typically use psi, while Japanese, Korean, and Chinese vehicles often use bar or kgf/cm².

What does mmHg mean on a blood pressure monitor?

mmHg (millimeter of mercury) is the standard unit for blood pressure measurement in medicine, representing the height of a mercury column. A normal resting adult blood pressure is approximately 120/80 mmHg (systolic/diastolic), which converts to approximately 16.0/10.7 kPa. 1 mmHg ≈ 133.322 Pa ≈ 0.133 kPa. Although international standards recommend using kPa, mmHg is still widely used in clinical practice.

Is my data uploaded to a server?

No. All conversion calculations run entirely in your browser using pure JavaScript math. Your input data never leaves your device.

How accurate are the conversion results?

This tool uses JavaScript double-precision floating-point numbers (64-bit IEEE 754) for calculations, which is sufficiently accurate for the vast majority of everyday scenarios. Standard atmosphere uses the internationally recognized exact value (1 atm = 101,325 Pa). Decimal portions are capped at 6 significant decimal places, and excessively long decimals are automatically truncated. For extremely large or small values, there may be minor errors due to floating-point precision limitations, but this has virtually no practical impact.

Which pressure units are supported?

11 units in total. Including pascal (Pa), hectopascal (hPa), kilopascal (kPa), megapascal (MPa), bar, mbar, standard atmosphere (atm), mmHg, inch of mercury (inHg), psi and kgf/cm². Enter any unit and convert to all the others at once.

Which is more common, standard atmosphere or bar?

It depends on the context. "Standard atmosphere (atm)" is often mentioned in weather and daily life, while bar (1 bar ≈ 0.9869 atm, close to but slightly different from 1 atm) is more common in engineering and industry. Both are pressure units and the tool converts freely between them, Pa and psi.

Why does medicine use mmHg instead of Pa?

History and clinical habit. mmHg directly corresponds to mercury sphygmomanometer readings and is familiar to doctors; clinical values (e.g. 120/80) are easy to read and remember. Although international standards recommend kPa, mmHg remains widely used in healthcare, and this tool supports conversion between both.

How do I copy the conversion results?

Click the copy button next to each result. A one-click copy button is provided beside every unit result — click it and the value goes to your clipboard, ready to paste into documents, spreadsheets or chats.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. The page is responsive and works on phones, tablets and desktop browsers. Input and result-copying work on mobile too.

Is it paid or does it require registration?

Free usage is provided every day, so daily use costs nothing. We prepare a daily free quota for every user, which is enough for basic pressure conversion. Just open the page and use it; if you need more frequent or professional use, a membership unlocks more benefits.
