Atmospheres to Psi Conversion Table
Common values, ready to copy:
| atmospheres | psi |
|---|---|
| 1 atm | 14.6959 psi |
| 2 atm | 29.3919 psi |
| 5 atm | 73.4797 psi |
| 10 atm | 146.96 psi |
| 25 atm | 367.4 psi |
| 50 atm | 734.8 psi |
| 100 atm | 1469.59 psi |
| 1,000 atm | 14695.94 psi |
Formula
psi = atmospheres × 1.46959430e+1
Pressure is force per area. 1 atm = 101.325 kPa = 14.696 psi = 760 mmHg. Bar is a metric working unit close to atmospheric pressure (1 bar = 100 kPa).
About Atmospheres and Psi
Atmospheres (atm): Originally the average atmospheric pressure at sea level (101,325 Pa exactly); replaced in scientific work by the kilopascal but still used in chemistry and physiology. Common uses: Chemistry (gas-phase reactions, vapor pressure references), diving (depth pressure in atmospheres of seawater), and some compressed-gas contexts.
Psi (psi): Pounds-force per square inch, the customary US pressure unit; 1 psi = 6,894.76 Pa. Common uses: US tire pressure (car tires typically 30-35 psi), US gas grills (10-12 psi propane), industrial hydraulics in the US, and US plumbing pressure specifications.
How the conversion works
Pressure is force per area. 1 atm = 101.325 kPa = 14.696 psi = 760 mmHg. Bar is a metric working unit close to atmospheric pressure (1 bar = 100 kPa).
The exact relationship is psi = atmospheres × 1.46959430e+1, which the calculator at the top of this page applies in both directions. Type into either field and the other updates immediately.
When this conversion matters
Converting between atmospheres and psi comes up wherever pressure measurements move between systems — from one country's conventions to another's, from a scientific reference to a practical specification, or from one industry's working unit to another's. The calculator and reference table above cover the everyday range; for unusual values you can type any number into either field.
