The full English name for PSI is Pounds per square inch. P stands for pound, S stands for square, and I stands for inch. By converting all units to metric units, it is possible to calculate that: 1 bar ≈ 14.5 psi; 1 psi = 6.895 kPa = 0.06895 bar. In countries like Europe and the United States, psi is commonly used as a unit of measurement. 1 megapascal (MPa) = 145 pounds per square inch (psi) = 10.2 kilograms per square centimeter (kg/cm2) = 10 bars = 9.8 atmospheres (atm). 1 pound per square inch (psi) = 0.006895 megapascals (MPa) = 0.0703 kilograms per square centimeter (kg/cm2) = 0.0689 bars = 0.068 atmospheres (atm). 1 bar = 0.1 megapascal (MPa) = 14.503 pounds per square inch (psi) = 1.0197 kilograms per square centimeter (kg/cm2) = 0.987 atmospheres (atm). 1 atmosphere (atm) = 0.101325 megapascals (MPa) = 14.696 pounds per square inch (psi) = 1.0333 kilograms per square centimeter (kg/cm2) = 1.0133 bars. In Europe and the United States, psi is frequently used
