Understanding the Units
What is a PSI?
One pound-force per square inch (psi) equals approximately 6,894.757 pascals.
Common contexts: tire pressure, plumbing, pneumatic systems (US).
What is an Atmosphere?
A standard atmosphere equals exactly 101,325 pascals — defined as the average atmospheric pressure at sea level.
Common contexts: chemistry, reference conditions.
