How do I convert psi to bar?

Short answer

Divide the pressure in psi by about 14.5038 to get bar, since one bar equals roughly 14.5038 psi. The browser-based pressure converter does this instantly and also handles pascals, kilopascals, atmospheres and mmHg, all in your browser with nothing uploaded.

The psi-to-bar factor

Psi means pounds per square inch, a common pressure unit for tyres and industrial gauges, while the bar is a metric unit close to one atmosphere. One bar equals about 14.5038 psi, so to convert psi to bar you divide by that figure. For a rough mental estimate, dividing psi by about 14.5 gets you close, which is handy when checking tyre pressures against a metric spec.

Cover every pressure unit

The pressure converter moves between pascals, kilopascals, bar, psi, atmospheres, mmHg and torr using exact factors, updating live as you type. That means you can switch a single reading into whichever unit a manual or gauge expects. It runs entirely in your browser, so nothing you enter is uploaded.

Step by step

  1. Open the converter. Open the pressure converter in your browser.
  2. Enter psi. Type your pressure value into the psi field.
  3. Read the bar value. The equivalent in bar appears instantly.
