This tool helps you convert pressure values from standard atmospheric pressure (atm) to pounds per square inch (psi):
Definition: Standard Atmosphere (atm):
The standard atmosphere (symbol: atm) is a unit of pressure defined as 101,325 pascals (Pa), representing the average atmospheric pressure at sea level.
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, defined as the pressure from a force of one pound-force applied over an area of one square inch.
Formula for Atm to Psi Conversion:
Pressure in psi=Pressure in atm×14.6959
How to Convert Atm to Psi: Example Calculation
Suppose you have a pressure of 2 atm.
To convert it to psi:
2×14.6959=29.3918 psi
So, 2 atm is equal to 29.3918 psi.
