Question 1

How many PSI in 1 atmosphere?

Accepted Answer

1 atm = 14.696 PSI. Standard atmospheric pressure at sea level. 1 atm = 101.325 kPa = 1.01325 bar.

Question 2

What is an atmosphere (pressure)?

Accepted Answer

1 atm is average sea-level pressure: 14.7 PSI, 101.3 kPa, 760 mmHg, 1013 mbar. Reference for pressure measurements.

Question 3

What pressure units do different industries use?

Accepted Answer

PSI in US/UK automotive and HVAC. Bar/kPa in European engineering. mmHg/torr in medicine. Atmospheres in diving and altitude.

Question 4

Is gauge pressure different from absolute pressure?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Gauge pressure reads 0 at atmospheric pressure. Absolute pressure adds atmospheric (~14.7 psi). Vacuum gauge shows negative gauge pressure.
