How to Convert Atmospheres to PSI
Converting atmospheres to PSI helps express pressure in practical units. One atmosphere equals approximately 14.6959 PSI (sea level air pressure).
To convert atmospheres to PSI, multiply the atm value by 14.6959. For example, 1 atm x 14.6959 = 14.7 PSI. This conversion is useful in diving, chemistry, and understanding pressure relative to sea level.
Atmosphere is a convenient reference pressure equal to average sea level air pressure.
Quick Tips
- 1 mile = 1.609 km (miles are bigger)
- 1 kg = 2.205 lbs (roughly double + 10%)
- Temperature: (°F - 32) × 5/9 = °C
