The conversion of 2.0 bar is approximately 29.01 psi. This means that a pressure of 2.0 bar is equivalent to about 29.01 pounds per square inch, giving a practical way to understand pressure measurements across different units.
To convert bar to psi, you multiply the pressure in bar by 14.5038, because 1 bar equals 14.5038 psi. This conversion factor comes from the definition of the units, where 1 bar is set as a pressure slightly below atmospheric pressure, and psi measures pressure in pounds per square inch, often used in the United States.
Conversion Result
2.0 bar equals 29.006 psi.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert bar to psi is: psi = bar * 14.5038. This work because 1 bar equals exactly 14.5038 psi, a conversion factor based on the defined relationship between the metric and imperial pressure units. For example, converting 3 bar:
- Multiply 3 by 14.5038
- 3 * 14.5038 = 43.5114 psi
Conversion Example
- Convert 4.5 bar to psi:
- Multiply 4.5 by 14.5038
- 4.5 * 14.5038 = 65.267 psi
- Convert 1.2 bar to psi:
- Multiply 1.2 by 14.5038
- 1.2 * 14.5038 = 17.4046 psi
- Convert 0.5 bar to psi:
- Multiply 0.5 by 14.5038
- 0.5 * 14.5038 = 7.2519 psi
- Convert 10 bar to psi:
- Multiply 10 by 14.5038
- 10 * 14.5038 = 145.038 psi
- Convert 7.8 bar to psi:
- Multiply 7.8 by 14.5038
- 7.8 * 14.5038 = 113.128 psi

Conversion Definitions
Bar
A bar is a metric unit of pressure equal to 100,000 pascals, approximately the atmospheric pressure at sea level. It measures force per unit area, primarily used in meteorology, engineering, and scientific calculations to describe pressure levels.
Psi
Psi, pounds per square inch, is an imperial unit measuring pressure based on force in pounds applied over a square inch. It’s commonly used in the United States for applications like tire inflation, hydraulic systems, and industrial pressure gauges.
Conversion FAQs
Why is 2.0 bar equal to about 29 psi?
This is because 1 bar equals 14.5038 psi, so multiplying 2.0 by this factor yields roughly 29.0076 psi, providing a straightforward way to switch between the units based on their defined relationship.
Can I use the same formula for converting other pressure units?
No, this formula specifically applies to bar and psi because of their defined relationship. Other units like pascals or atmospheres require different conversion factors, so always check the relevant constants.
What tools can help me convert bar to psi easily?
Online calculators, conversion charts, and embedded JavaScript tools like this one offer quick and accurate conversions without needing manual math. Physical gauges often display both units for convenience.
Is 2.0 bar a high-pressure measurement?
In many contexts, 2.0 bar is moderate; for example, car tires usually operate around 2-2.5 bar. It’s not extremely high but significant enough for many industrial and mechanical applications.
Does atmospheric pressure affect the conversion?
No, the conversion factor between bar and psi is fixed and independent of atmospheric pressure, which varies with altitude but does not influence the fixed relationship used here.
