What does 1 pascal represent?

1 pascal is the SI derived unit of pressure equal to one newton applied over one square meter.

What is pound-force per square inch used for?

It is an imperial unit of pressure commonly used in automotive tire pressures, hydraulic systems, and compressed gas measurements.

How can I convert pascal to psi?

Multiply the pressure in pascals by 0.0001450377 to get the equivalent pressure in pound-force per square inch.

How to Convert from Pascal [Pa] to Pound-force/square inch
