About pressure units

Tire pressure is given in psi in the US and in bar or kPa elsewhere. One bar is about 14.5 psi, and 1 psi is about 6.9 kPa.

Weather uses hectopascals (the same as millibars) or inches of mercury, and blood pressure uses millimeters of mercury.

Pressure unit definitions

Pascal (Pa)
The pascal is the SI unit of pressure, one newton per square meter.
Hectopascal (hPa)
A hectopascal is 100 pascals, exactly one millibar. Weather maps give air pressure in hPa.
Kilopascal (kPa)
A kilopascal is 1,000 pascals. Tire pressure outside the US is often given in kPa.
Megapascal (MPa)
A megapascal is 1,000,000 pascals. Material strength and hydraulic pressure are given in MPa.
Bar (bar)
A bar is 100,000 pascals, close to air pressure at sea level. Tires, scuba tanks and espresso machines use bar.
Millibar (mbar)
A millibar is one thousandth of a bar, the same as a hectopascal. Weather reports use it.
Pound Per Square Inch (psi)
Pounds per square inch is the US unit for tire pressure, air compressors and hydraulics. One psi is about 6,895 pascals.
Atmosphere (atm)
A standard atmosphere is exactly 101,325 pascals, average air pressure at sea level.
Millimeter Of Mercury (mmHg)
A millimeter of mercury is about 133.3 pascals. Blood pressure is measured in mmHg.
Inch Of Mercury (inHg)
An inch of mercury is about 3,386 pascals. US weather reports and aviation altimeters use inHg.
Torr (Torr)
A torr is 1/760 of a standard atmosphere, very close to one millimeter of mercury. Vacuum systems are rated in torr.
