Pressure Converter

Pressure is the force exerted perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area over which that force is distributed. It is commonly measured in units such as Pascals, atmospheres, or pounds per square inch (psi).

Different units of pressure are used depending on the context and region. For example, Pascals are used in scientific research, psi is often used in automotive and industrial applications in the United States, and atmospheres are commonly used in diving and atmospheric sciences.

A Pascal, symbolized as Pa, is the standard unit of pressure in the International System of Units (SI). It is defined as one newton per square meter. The unit is named after Blaise Pascal, a French mathematician, physicist, and inventor.

Barometric pressure is measured using a barometer in units of atmospheres, millibars, or inches of mercury. It reflects the weight of the air at a particular location and can be an important factor in weather forecasting.

Inches of mercury (inHg) is a unit traditionally used in aviation, meteorology, and some scientific applications. It indicates the height of a column of mercury that can be supported by the pressure exerted.
