  2. Bar (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bar_(unit)

    The kilobar, equivalent to 100 MPa, is commonly used in geological systems, particularly in experimental petrology. The abbreviations "bar(a)" and "bara" are sometimes used to indicate absolute pressures, and "bar(g)" and "barg" for gauge pressures. The usage is deprecated but still prevails in the oil industry (often by capitalized "BarG" and ...

  5. Pascal (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal_(unit)

    Convert mmHg to SI units as follows: 1 mmHg = 0.133 32 kPa. Hence the normal blood pressure in SI units is less than 16.0 kPa SBP and less than 10.7 kPa DBP. These values are similar to the pressure of water column of average human height; so pressure has to be measured on arm roughly at the level of the heart.

    Likewise, there is a conversion approximation formulas for estimating between CIP (European) crusher pressures (which are recorded in multiples of 50 bar) and piezo ratings, consistent with different assumptions for CIP vs. SAAMI crusher test conditions: piezo = 1.21 × crusher − 2.8

  7. Standard atmosphere (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_atmosphere_(unit)

    The standard atmosphere was originally defined as the pressure exerted by a 760 mm column of mercury at 0 °C (32 °F) and standard gravity (g n = 9.806 65 m/s 2). [2] It was used as a reference condition for physical and chemical properties, and the definition of the centigrade temperature scale set 100 °C as the boiling point of water at this pressure.

  8. Mean effective pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_effective_pressure

    The mean effective pressure (MEP) is a quantity relating to the operation of a reciprocating engine and is a measure of an engine's capacity to do work that is independent of engine displacement. [1]

  9. Ambient pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambient_pressure

    One bar is 100 kPa or approximately ambient pressure at sea level. Ambient pressure may in other circumstances be measured in pounds per square inch (psi) or in standard atmospheres (atm). The ambient pressure at sea level is approximately one atmosphere, which is equal to 1.01325 bars (14.6959 psi), which is close enough for bar and atm to be ...
