Understanding Bar Pressure

A bar is a metric unit of pressure equal to 100 kilopascals or approximately 14.5038 pounds per square inch (PSI). One bar is very close to atmospheric pressure at sea level, making it a convenient unit for many applications.

Common Uses of Bar Pressure

  • Meteorology for atmospheric pressure measurements
  • Tire pressure specifications in vehicles
  • Industrial processes and hydraulic systems
  • Scuba diving equipment and depth measurements
  • Natural gas distribution systems
