8. Pressure
1 bar = 1 x 105 Pa (pascal) = 1 x 105 N/m2
1 psia = 1 lbf / in2
1 psia = 2.0360 in Hg at 0oC
1 psia = 2.311 ft H2 O at 70 o F
1 psia = 51.715 mmHg at 0 oC (Hg = 13.5955 g / cm3 )
1 atm = 14.696 psia = 1.01325 x 105 N / m2 =
1.01325 bar
1 atm = 760 mm Hg at 0 oC = 1.01325 x 105 Pa
1 atm = 29.921 in Hg at 0 oC
