    How to read the chart

    Find your value in the first column and read across. For units not listed, use the factor matrix: multiply by the number where your unit's row meets the target column. Gauge readings (tires, compressors) are above atmospheric pressure; add 1.013 bar (14.7 psi) for absolute pressure.

    Frequently asked questions

    How do I convert bar to psi quickly?

    Multiply by 14.5. For exact work use 14.5038.

    Is kgf/cm² the same as bar?

    Almost: 1 kgf/cm² = 0.980665 bar, about 2% less.
