The below simple tool for converting pressure from pounds per square inch (psi) to standard atmospheric pressure (atm):
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.
Definition: Standard Atmosphere (atm)
The standard atmosphere (symbol: atm) is a unit of pressure defined as 101,325 pascals (Pa). It is approximately equal to the average atmospheric pressure at sea level on Earth.
Formula for Psi to Atm Conversion:
Pressure in Standard atm=Pressure in psi×0.068046
How to Convert Psi to Atm: Example Calculation
Suppose you have a pressure of 50 psi.
To convert it to atm:
50×0.068046=3.4023 atm
So, 50 psi is equal to 3.4023 atm.
Quick Reference Conversion Table for Psi to Atm
