BAR to psi

[phishmale]

do anyone know the conversion from bar to psi. by the way what does bar stand for anyway

[Piddy]

I know 1bar is around 14psi. If you look at any compressor... or anything like that... it should list both psi and bar.

[Peter]

i dont know but i know 1 bar is alot of psi can tell u for sure

[93turbomr2]

1 bar = 14.5 psi

[Nick]

1 atm = 101.3 kPa = 760 mm Hg = 29.92 in Hg = 14.70 psi

pilots know all about pressure...

a bar is 1 standard atmosphere, which is the pressure that on average is exerted on the face of the earth at sea level by the weight of the colum of air above you

standard atmosphere is assumed to be at 15 degrees celcius with 0 humidity at sea level

That is incorrect.

14.70 psi = 1 ATM (atmosphere)
14.50 psi = 1 BAR
14.22 psi = 1 hg/cm2

Please note, many boost controllers & gauges read in hg/cm2.
I know my Blitz DSBC does.

Does anyone know what 15PSI would be in hg/cm2 ?? Cant find it in the website. Just picked up a Blitz dsbc.

91 turbo, the link I supplid you will do the covnversion for you.

1 hg/cm2= 14.22 psi
1.055 hg/cm2 = 15 psi

When playing with your blitz unit, whatever number comes out ... just multiply it by 14.22 to figure out your psi.

If you want to know what hg/cm2 to aim for a certain psi.
Take the target psi and divide by 14.22.

15 / 14.22 = 1.055
