This calculator allows you to convert pressure values from millibars (mbar) to pounds per square inch (psi).
Definition: Millibar (mbar)
A millibar (symbol: mbar) is a unit of pressure commonly used in meteorology to describe atmospheric pressure. It is equal to one-thousandth of a bar, which is a metric unit of pressure.
Definition: Pound-force per Square Inch (psi)
A pound-force per square inch (symbol: psi) is a unit of pressure used in the imperial and US customary systems. It represents the pressure resulting from a force of one pound-force applied over an area of one square inch.
Formula for Millibar to Psi Conversion:
Pressure in psi = Pressure in mbar × 0.0145038
How to Convert Millibar to Psi: Example Calculation
Suppose you have a pressure of 1000 mbar.
To convert it to psi:
1000×0.0145038=14.5038 psi
So, 1000 mbar is equal to 14.5038 psi.
