Pascal to PSI Converter
Formula: PSI = Pa × 0.000145
Understanding Pressure Units
What is a Pascal (Pa)?
A Pascal is the SI unit for pressure, defined as one newton per square meter (N/m²). It's named after Blaise Pascal, the French mathematician and physicist who studied pressure and invented the hydraulic press.
What is PSI?
PSI (Pounds per Square Inch) is a unit of pressure commonly used in the United States and United Kingdom. It measures the amount of force applied to one square inch of surface area.
Common Applications
This conversion is particularly useful in:
- • Tire pressure monitoring (typically measured in PSI)
- • Industrial processes (often using Pascals)
- • Engineering calculations and specifications
- • Scientific research and laboratory work
