Convert Atmosphere to PSI (atm to psi)

Convert Standard Atmospheres (atm) to PSI (Pounds per Square Inch). This conversion bridges the gap between scientific reference pressure (atm) and practical engineering units (PSI). It is particularly critical in scuba diving, where surface pressure is 1 atm, and every 33 feet of depth adds roughly another atmosphere of pressure.

Conversion Formula
psi = atm × 14.6959

Multiply atmospheres by roughly 14.7. For precise calculation: 2 atm × 14.6959 = 29.39 psi.

IN

Standard Atmosphere (atm)

Definition

A unit of pressure defined as exactly 101,325 Pascals.

Origins & History

Originally defined as the pressure exerted by the Earth's atmosphere at sea level at Paris. It was later standardized to a precise Pascal value to decouple it from local gravity variations.

Current Use: Used in chemistry (standard temperature and pressure), scuba diving, and aviation.
OUT

PSI (psi)

Definition

Pounds per Square Inch. A unit of pressure resulting from a force of one pound-force applied to an area of one square inch.

Origins & History

Standard in the industrial revolution in Britain and America for steam engines.

Current Use: The standard unit for tire pressure, industrial hydraulics, and compressed air systems in the US.
