What is what??

Ie is 1 bar is equal to 10psi??

So if a car is running at 1.5 bar could i assume that that would be 15psi or am i wrong??

 

14.7

 

1 bar is about 14.7 psi

 

1.5 is 22ish

 

14.8psi to 1 bar to be precise.

 

Thanks pal.

I know now what my motor is doing She hitting 1.5 and holding that

Thanks

 

Pressures

1 bar = 14.504 lbs/sq.in = 100,000 pascals = 29.53 in. of mercury
1 lb/sq.in. = 0.0689 bar = 6.895 kilopascals = 2.036 in. of mercury
1 kg/sq.cm = 14.223 lbs/sq.in. = 0.981 bar = 98.066 kilopascals


Taken from the Burton site

 

1 bar = 14.504psi

To be totally accurate.... 14.50378psi = 1 bar

HANDY CONVERTER

 

Actually most people get this wrong 1 bar is actually nearest 14.5psi.
If you want it accurate its :-

1 bar = 14.5037738 pounds per square inch

 

You win the least precise "to be precise" award, lol.

 

The diffference most people get confused with is gauge pressure and absolute pressure.

Pressure measurements may be expressed relative to various zero references. Absolute pressure of a fluid is referenced against a perfect vacuum. Gauge pressure is referenced against ambient air pressure, so it is equal to absolute pressure minus atmospheric pressure. Atmospheric pressure is typically about 1 bar at sea level, but is variable with altitude and weather. A standard value of atmospheric pressure has been defined to be 101.325 kPa. If the absolute pressure of a fluid stays constant, the gauge pressure of the same fluid will vary as atmospheric pressure changes. For gauge pressures several times larger than atmospheric pressure, this variation is small as a percentage of reading and may be ignored.

Examples of absolute pressure measurements include barometric pressure, altimeters, and the Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor used in the engine control systems of modern fuel-injected cars. Examples of gauge pressure measurements include tyre-pressure gauges and sphygmomanometer.

 

I can do it to 10 decimal places if you want ?, do I get a LOLLIPOP ?
tabetha

 

thats weird - a lad round here is adament that 1 bar = 25 psi and his car is running 2 bar as i said mine was running 1.7!!

 

whoops, too early

 

Either he is just a penis or he is adding atmospheric pressure plus the boost pressure, 1 bar atmos + 1 bar of boost.....actually he should be quoting you nearer 28 psi....but in reality he only has 1 bar of boost...

 

People get confused saying its 14.7 instead of 14.5 becasue 1 Atmosphere equals 14.7 PSI.

1 Bar = 14.5 PSI
1 Atmosphere = 14.7 PSI
