A Pressure Converter is used to convert between different units of pressure. Pressure is the force applied per unit area and is commonly measured in various units such as pascals (Pa), bar, atmospheres (atm), psi (pounds per square inch), and others.
Common Units of Pressure:
- Pascal (Pa) – The SI unit of pressure.
- Kilopascal (kPa) – 1 kPa = 1,000 Pa.
- Bar – 1 bar = 100,000 Pa.
- Atmosphere (atm) – 1 atm = 101,325 Pa.
- Pound per square inch (psi) – A unit commonly used in the US.
- Millimeters of mercury (mmHg) – Often used in barometers.
- Torr – 1 Torr ≈ 1 mmHg.
- Inches of mercury (inHg) – Commonly used in weather systems.
