What does 1 pascal represent?

1 pascal is the pressure exerted by one newton of force applied over an area of one square meter.

Why convert pascal to psi?

Converting allows expressing pressure in Imperial/US customary units commonly used in automotive and industrial contexts.

Is psi suitable for scientific calculations?

Psi is used mainly in practical applications; pascal is preferred for scientific calculations due to its SI base.
