Conversion Factors of Absolute Pressures in Various Units

Example – To transform 10 mbar to torr: 10 x 0.75 = 7.5 torr

= mbar = bar = torr = in. Hg = psi (lb/in2) = atm = Pa
mbar x 1 1 x 10-3 0.75 2.953 x 10-2 1.45 x 10-2 9.869 x 10-4 1 x 102
bar x 1 x 103 1 7.5 x 102 29.53 14.5 0.987 1 x 105
torr x 1.333 1.333 x 10-3 1 3.937 x 10-2 1.934 x 10-2 1.316 x 10-3 1.33 x 102
inch Hg x 33.86 3.386 x 10-2 25.4 1 0.491 3.342 x 10-2 3.386 x 103
psi (lb/in2) X 68.95 6.895 x 10-2 51.71 2.036 1 6.805 x 10-2 6.895 x 103
atm x 1.013 x 103 1.013 7.6 x 102 29.92 14.7 1 1.013 x 105
Pa x 0.01 1 x 10-5 7.5 x 10-3 2.953 x 10-4 1.45 x 10-4 9.869 x 10-6 1
