EVERYDAY MATH, MADE SIMPLE.

PSI to bar●

Pounds per square inch in. Bar out. Check tyre and pump pressure.

Pressure

Converts units only: gauge stays gauge and absolute stays absolute. No atmospheric offset is applied.

Try a value

Pick an example to start

The formula

bars = pounds-force per square inch ÷ 14.503773773

Divide the number of pounds-force per square inch by 14.503773773 to get bars. To go the other way, multiply by the same number.

A worked example

For 32 psi, divide 32 by 14.503773773. The result is approximately 2.206322 bar.

32 ÷ 14.503773773 ≈ 2.206322 bar

Pressure conversions

GOOD TO KNOW

For tyres, pumps and compressors.

Use this conversion for tyre pressure, bike pumps, compressors and pressure washers. One bar is about 14.5 psi, so divide psi by 14.5 for a quick estimate. Check your vehicle placard for the correct value.

Calculation details & precision

Pressure conversions use pascals as the base unit. One bar is exactly 100,000 Pa; one standard atmosphere is exactly 101,325 Pa; one Torr is 1/760 of a standard atmosphere. PSI uses the international pound-force and inch: 1 psi is approximately 6,894.75729317 Pa. Converting units preserves the pressure reference.

Automatic displays up to 12 significant digits. Choose 2, 4 or 6 decimal places in Precision for a shorter result. Displayed results are rounded; very large or small values use scientific notation.

Common questions
