Conversor de Atmospheres to Pounds per square inch

As two types of units of pressure, atmoshperes and pounds per square inch are equally as important to help measure certain pressures. While units of atm are seen to be a good comparing-point when looking at measurements from many other units of pressure, units of psi are used less commonly and only in America for everyday pressure measurements. This is our psi to atm converter but view our other pressure converters.

What is psi?

Psi is a unit of pressure defined by a force of one pound on an area of one square inch and is more accurately known as pound-force per square inch. The psi measurement is most commonly found to be used in the US and can be used to measure atmospheric pressure in certain circumstances. Other abbreviations of this unit include lbf/in² and lbf/sq in. Try our pounds per square inch to atmpospheres converter.

What are atmoshperes?

Atmoshperic pressure is measured by the unit of atmoshpere. This is done by a piece of equipment called a barometer, commonly used in meteorology. Atmospheres measure pressure through the force of an object exerted on a surface by the weight of the air above it, or in other terms the Earth’s atmoshpere.
