Pressure is a measurement of the force a gas exerts on a given area. It is most commonly measured in pounds per square inch (psi), bar, kg/cm2 or atmospheres. The latter three units are quite similiar and can often be used together without conversion.
| 1 bar | = 14.504 psi | = 1.02 kg/cm2 | = 0.987 atm |
| 1 psi | = 0.069 bar | = 0.07 kg/cm2 | = 0.068 atm |
| 1 kg/cm2 | = 0.98 bar | = 14.223 psi | = 0.968 atm |
| 1 atm | = 1.013 bar | = 14.696 psi | = 1.033 kg/cm2 |
