Converting Pounds Per Square Inch or PSI to Pascals

This example problem demonstrates how to convert the pressure unit pounds per square inch (psi) to pascals (Pa). PSI To Pa Problem The average air pressure at sea level is 14.6 psi. What is this pressure in Pa?Solution:1 psi 6894.7 PaSet up the conversion so the desired unit will be canceled out. In this case, we want Pa to be the remaining unit.pressure in Pa (pressure in psi) x (6894.7 Pa/1 psi)pressure in Pa (14.6 x 6894.7) Papressure in Pa 100662.7 PaAnswer:The average sea level air pressure is 100662.7 Pa or 1.0 x 105 Pa.
