bar to psi

what is the conversion again? couldn't find it, thanks

 

1 bar is equal to 14.5 psi

 

1 bar = 14.50377 psi

 

Some people say 1 Barometric = 15 PSI just because they like to round up.

Some say 1 Barometric is only 14.5 PSI at 0 ft. or sea level.

 

so 1 tenth bar = 1.45 psi?

 

1 bar = 100,000 Pascal

1 psi = ~6894.757 Pascal

1 bar = ~14.5 psi

Regardless of sea level or not. The pressure certainly changes when you're not at sea level but the relationship between bar and psi does not.

Yes, they're both linear.

 

good info

 

I actually looked at this for a while to learn relative psi conversions from bar http://www.britishmetrics.com/html/pis-bar.htm. Paste it to your dash for a couple of weeks or something and you will know the relative conversion.

 

Ok.

What I don't get is why my MPa gauge goes up in intervals like this: .05, .1, .15....

I realize how the conversion works BTW, and yes I know what I'm boosting. I just don't know how it can go from .1 to .15

 

so um...whats your question?

 

Lol. How the heck can it go from .1 to .15

That's like saying, ok I'm going to count to 15..... 1, 15!

Megapascals > me.

 

I think it probably goes .05 to .1 (.10) to .15

 

Ok sorry about the thread-jack. It's a good thing I ordered that Omori gauge.

 

exactly

 

your gauge dial is messed up. It should go from .5 to 1 to 1.5 (bar), or at least thats the way my HKS mechanical works. The way you said is just plain crazy. MPa is almost the same conversion as bar, just need to multiply by 1.013 or something like that.

 

It's in megaPascal I think he said. 100,000 Pascal = 1 bar. So .05 .10 .15 sounds reasonable.

 

i think he is trying to ask why does the gauge do that?? .1 or .15 or whatever

 

.1 = .10

Think of it as .10 and maybe it gets easier.

 

I downloaded this conversion table a while ago. I use it alot.

No, it goes 0, .05, .1, .15


And I get it now. It was the .1 to .15 that was throwing me off at first.

 

.1 = 14.5 psi

 

No, .1 bar is not 14.5 psi

1 bar (no decimal before the one) is approximately 14.5 psi.

 

then why is it the stock turbo gauge reads .05, .1, .15

and my car hits peak boost at 18.5psi and on my gauge that reads between .1 & .15

so .1 mpa = 14.5 ????

and .1 mpa = 1 bar ???

 

From www.onlineconversion.com

1 megapascal = 145.037 738 007 pound/square inch [absolute]

So, your reading of .1 to .15 is between (approximately) 15 and 22 psi. So, that sounds about right for your gauge.

 

I posted earlier that 100,000 Pascal = 1 bar, so yes.

 

okay, that makes sense. thanks guys

 

lol this thread is still going?

 

yea, leave it to me

got to get my post counts in

 

It's funny. But before this thread I had never heard anyone say 14.5

It's always been 14.7 from everything I've read or heard.

 

Wow, very usefull info. I've always wondered about my gauge but hadn't ever asked... Good to know!!!

 

14.7 is considered standard atmospheric pressure. No clue why bar and atmospheric pressure have been considered equal other than that they both represent pressure and are rather close to each other in value.

 

ooooouch... my head hurts now. I thought I knew, but now I'm not sure anymore. :eek3:

 

haha, I had the same problem once....you'll get it
