good find...much easier than

Here is some pressure unit conversion information.

1 Bar equals 14.5 psi.
which equals 750 torr,
which equals 750mm Hg, (millimeters of mercury in a Torricelli Barometer
which equals 29.5275 inches of mercury,
which equals 100,000 Pascals, or 100 kPa, named after the French scientist Blaise Pascal.

As mentioned, A pressure equivalent to that exerted by exactly 760mm of mercury at exactly 0 degrees Celsius, under standard gravity is defined to be 1 atmosphere.

1 atmosphere equals 14.70 psi (pounds per square inch),
which equals 1.013 Bar,
which equals 760 mm of Hg,
which equals 29.9212 in Hg,
which equals 406.8 inches of water.

since some gauges and monitors read Kgcm2...
to convert kg/cm2 to psi:
multiply by 14.194 (ie- 0.8 kg/cm2 x 14.194 = 11.4 psi)
