📘 Formula Sheet: Pressure Units & Conversions
🔢 Pressure Formula ▶
- Pressure (P) = Force (F) / Area (A)
- SI Unit of Pressure: Pascal (Pa) = 1 N/m²
🔄 Common Pressure Units ▶
- 1 Pascal (Pa) = 1 N/m²
- 1 kilopascal (kPa) = 1000 Pa
- 1 atmosphere (atm) = 101325 Pa
- 1 bar = 100000 Pa
- 1 mmHg ≈ 133.3 Pa
- 1 torr = 133.3 Pa
- 1 psi (pound/square inch) ≈ 6894.76 Pa
📏 Area Unit Conversions ▶
- 1 m² = 10,000 cm²
- 1 cm² = 100 mm²
- 1 m² = 1,000,000 mm²
- 1 inch² ≈ 645.16 mm²
🔧 Conversion Examples ▶
- Convert 2 atm to Pa: 2 × 101325 = 202650 Pa
- Convert 1 bar to N/m²: 1 × 100000 = 100000 N/m²
- Convert 10 psi to Pa: 10 × 6894.76 = 68947.6 Pa
🌊 Fluid Pressure Formulae ▶
- Pressure in fluids (P) = h × ρ × g
- h = height/depth of fluid column (in m)
- ρ = density of fluid (in kg/m³)
- g = gravitational acceleration (≈ 9.8 m/s²)
🌍 Atmospheric Pressure Facts ▶
- Standard Atmospheric Pressure = 101325 Pa = 1 atm
- Measured using a barometer
- Decreases with altitude
- Essential for weather forecasting and aviation
