Conversion Formula
The formula to convert bar to psi is: psi = bar * 14.5038. It works because the pressure in psi is obtained by multiplying the pressure in bar by the conversion factor 14.5038, which is the number of psi in one bar. For example, for 2.2 bar: 2.2 * 14.5038 = 31.90636 psi.
Conversion Example
- Convert 5 bar to psi:
- Multiply 5 by 14.5038: 5 * 14.5038 = 72.519 psi
- Convert 1.5 bar to psi:
- Multiply 1.5 by 14.5038: 1.5 * 14.5038 = 21.7557 psi
- Convert 0.8 bar to psi:
- Multiply 0.8 by 14.5038: 0.8 * 14.5038 = 11.603 psi
- Convert 10 bar to psi:
- Multiply 10 by 14.5038: 10 * 14.5038 = 145.038 psi
- Convert 2.2 bar to psi:
- Multiply 2.2 by 14.5038: 2.2 * 14.5038 = 31.90636 psi

Conversion Definitions
Bar
A bar is a metric unit of pressure, equal to 100,000 pascals, roughly equivalent to Earth’s atmospheric pressure at sea level. It is commonly used in science, engineering, and meteorology to measure force per unit area.
Psi
Psi (pounds per square inch) measures pressure by indicating how many pounds of force are exerted over one square inch of area. It is a standard unit in the United States for tire pressures, hydraulics, and other pressure-related applications.
Conversion FAQs
How accurate is the conversion from bar to psi for 2.2 bar?
The conversion is accurate within a very small margin because the factor 14.5038 is precise. Minor variations might occur depending on rounding, but for most practical purposes, the value is reliable to four decimal places.
Why is the conversion factor 14.5038 used?
This factor comes from the exact relation where 1 bar equals 14.5038 psi, derived from the definitions of pressure units based on pounds-force and square inches, ensuring consistent and standard conversions across fields.
Can I use the same conversion for other pressure units?
No, different units have different conversion factors. For example, converting from atmospheres or pascals requires different multipliers. The 14.5038 factor is specifically for bar to psi conversions.
What if I need to convert psi back to bar?
You divide the psi value by 14.5038 to get the value in bar. For instance, 31.91 psi divided by 14.5038 equals approximately 2.2 bar.
