PSI to Bar Converter

Divide psi by about 14.5038 to get bar (1 psi ≈ 0.0689 bar).

32 psi = 2.2063223338 bar

Convert bar to pounds per square inch instead

Formula

1 psi = 0.0689475729 bar

bar = pounds per square inch ÷ 14.503773773

Worked example

Convert 35 pounds per square inch to bar

  1. Divide by 14.503773773
  2. 35 ÷ 14.503773773 = 2.41317

35 psi = 2.41317 bar

Good to know

Car tire pressures of 30–35 psi are about 2.1–2.4 bar; road-bike tires at 80–100 psi are 5.5–6.9 bar. Tire gauges and the placard on a car’s door frame usually show both units. Tire and compressor pressures are normally gauge pressures — the pressure above the surrounding atmosphere — in either unit.

About these units

Pound per square inch (psi)
Pound-force per square inch, about 6,894.757 Pa. The usual unit for tire pressure in the US and UK.
Bar (bar)
Exactly 100,000 Pa — close to average air pressure at sea level. Common for tire, scuba and pump pressures in Europe.
