Understanding Pressure Units and Pascal

The pascal is the SI derived unit of pressure and is defined as one newton per square meter. It can also be expressed solely in base SI units as kilograms per meter per second squared. The table shows conversion factors between the pascal and other common pressure units like bars, atmospheres, torrs, and pounds per square inch.
