How to convert pressure units using the AddUp calculator

How to convert units in general

Conversions can be done either with the "->" conversion operator or with the equivalent "convert" function. The function has three parameters: a quantity, a unit to convert from and a unit to convert to. Likewise the conversion operator uses three values: the quantity and unit to convert from are placed on the left side of the operator while the unit to convert to goes to the right side.

Pressure Units

The basic unit of pressure is the pascal. All units of pressure are expressed in terms of this base unit and so measurements can be converted from any one of the following units to any other.

atm
atmosphere of pressure: 1.01325e+5 pascal
bar
10 N/cm2: 1e5 pascal
barye
CGS unit: 0.1 pascal
cmHg
centimeter of mercury (Hg): 1333.22 pascal
inchHg
inch of mercury (Hg): 3386.3788 pascal
pascal
Basic unit of pressure (N/m2): 1 pascal
psf
pound / square foot: 47.88026 pascal
psi
pound / square inch: 6894.75744 pascal
torr [also: mmHg]
1/760 atmosphere: 133.3223684211 pascal

Sample Conversions of Pressure Units

Convert pascals to atmospheres

10 pascals -> atm = 0.0000987

convert(10; pascals; atm) = 0.0000987

Convert pascals to bars

10 pascals -> bars = 0.0001

convert(10; pascal; bar) = 0.0001

Convert pascals to pounds per square inch~

10 pascals -> PSI = 0.0014504

convert(10; pascals; psi) = 0.0014504

Convert pascals to inches of mercury

10 pascals -> inchHg = 0.002953

convert(10; pascals; inchHg) = 0.002953

Convert pascals to torrs

10 pascals -> torrs = 0.0750062

convert(10; Pascal; Torr) = 0.0750062

Convert atm to pascals

10 atm -> pascals = 1,013,250

convert(10; atm; pascals) = 1,013,250

Convert bars to pascals

10 bars -> pascals = 1,000,000

convert(10; bars; pascals) = 1,000,000

Convert inches of mercury to pascals

10 inchHg -> pascals = 33,863.788

convert(10; inchHg; pascals) = 33,863.788

Convert Torrs to Pascals

10 torrs -> pascals = 1,333.2237

convert(10; Torr; Pascal) = 1,333.2237

Convert pounds per square inch to centimeters of mercury

10 psi -> cmHg = 51.714933

convert(10; PSI; cmHg) = 51.714933

Convert barye to torr

10 baryes -> torrs = 0.0075006

convert(10; barye; torr) = 0.0075006

Convert torr to barrye

10 torr -> barye = 13,332.237

convert(10; torrs; baryes) = 13,332.237
