Examples
Linear unit conversions use standardized factors; many are exact by definition (e.g., 1 in = 25.4 mm, 1 ft = 0.3048 m).
Common mistakes
- Comparing gauge pressure (psig) with absolute pressure (psia/hPa) without converting reference.
- Mixing bar with atm (1 atm = 1.01325 bar).
About Pressure
Pressure is force per unit area. Pascals (and kPa, hPa) are SI, while bar and psi are widely used in engineering and scuba. Conversions must respect absolute vs gauge references when comparing values.
About Bar
Bar
Equals 100,000 Pa (exact). Handy engineering unit near mean sea-level pressure (≈1.01325 bar).
History: Introduced by early 20th-century meteorologists; remains popular in scuba, hydraulics, and weather.
About Pascal (Pa)
Pascal (Pa)
SI unit equal to 1 N/m². Used for stress, tire pressure (kPa), and atmospheric science (hPa).
History: Named after Blaise Pascal; became practical with digital sensors capable of stable low-pressure readings.
