Mole Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 I have some aeroquip oil lines that are rated in psi and an oil pressure guage that shows pressure in bar - what is the conversion (i.e. 1 bar = how many psi)?

stevefoster Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 14psi to 1 bar /Steve My racing pics, 7 DIY, race prep. Updated often here Hants (North) and Berkshire area club site here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Beaumont Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 And an easy to remember url that will convert just about any measurement you can think of is Megaconverter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter T Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 1 Bar=14.7 PSI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul D Jones Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 Rate all fittings and hoses at 2.5 times the max working pressure this should be very easy as the type of hose you are useing is rated a lot higher then what you are using it for.

Harry Flatters Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 Megaconverter says 14.50377 PSI = 1 BAR *arrowright*Harry Flatters *arrowright* AKA Steve Mell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bricol Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 ah, but, is that English or USA inches - to that many decimal places, a USa inch is slightly different to a English one (ruler must have shrunk on the wayover on the Mayflower)!

Lawrence_Z Posted October 15, 2002 Share Posted October 15, 2002 14.7 psi = 1 atmosphere 14.5 psi = 1 bar 1 bar = 0.9869 atmospheres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby dooby doo Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 Atmospheric pressure varies by a few percent depending on the weather. When they say the pressure is 1000 they mean 1000 millibars, ie 1 bar. "low pressure" is anything less than average atmospheric pressure, and high anything above it. I guess the variation is about plus/minus 30 mb? So using Lawrence's numbers low is less than about 986 and high is above 986. The metric unit is the pascal (i kg per square metre) so there are approx 100,000 of those at atmospheric pressure. (I think 1 bar is actually defined at 101325 Pa) HOOPY Membership Number 4136 R706KGU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
