1 psi to atm

One psi is approximately 0.068046 standard atmospheres. PSI means pounds-force per square inch, and atm denotes the standard atmosphere. Both are units of pressure, but they represent different amounts.

Meaning and context

Using approximately 14.69595 psi per standard atmosphere, divide one by 14.69595. The result is about 0.068046 atm. To convert a larger psi value, multiply it by that factor.

Examples and usage

For example, 10 psi is about 0.68046 atm as a numerical unit conversion. Keep extra digits until the final rounding step if the calculation requires precision. Check whether the receiving specification asks for atm, bar, or another unit.

What to check

Gauge pressure and absolute pressure use different reference points. A unit conversion alone does not change a gauge reading into an absolute reading. For equipment or a safety-critical application, identify the pressure reference and follow the relevant specification.
