Guest Anonymous Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 I was just looking at the turbo calculator on http://www.bsmotor.com/ and I was wondering how many psi 1.0 bar of boost is. I was thinking that it would be 14.7psi But I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 The pressure of a system is defined as the force exerted by the system on unit area of its boundaries. This is the definition of the absolute pressure. Often in measurements a gauge is used to record the pressure difference between the system and the atmospheric pressure. This is called gauge pressure and can be stated by the following equation: P=Pg+Po P=absolute pressure, Pg=gauge pressure, Po=atmospheric pressure. If the pressure of a system is below atmospheric, it is called vacuum pressure.The SI unit of pressure is pascal (Pa): 1 Pa=1 N/m "bar" is used in many industrial applications: 1 bar=0.1 MPa This unit is approximately equal to atmospheric pressure: Standard atmospheric pressure=1.01325 bar= 101325 Pa In hydraulic "m of water" is common: 1 m of water=9806.65 Pa Many gauges use Mercury (Hg) as the measurement medium. 1 mmHg=133.4 Pa Other units are: dyn/cm=0.1 Pa kgf/cm=kp/cm=at=98067 Pa lbf/ft=47.879 Pa in (H2O)=249.08 Pa in (Hg)=3386.4 Pa psi=lbf/in=6894.7 Pa ksi=1000 psi=68.947 MPa 14.7/1.01325 = 14.507772 Cheers!
