Definition of Pascal
Pascal: The SI Unit of Pressure
The pascal (Pa) is the SI derived unit of pressure, defined as one newton per square meter (N/m²). Named after the French mathematician and physicist Blaise Pascal, it is used extensively in scientific, engineering, and meteorological applications. The pascal is a relatively small unit, so larger multiples like kilopascal (kPa) and megapascal (MPa) are commonly used in practice.
Conversions to Other Units of Measurement:
- Bar: 1 pascal equals 0.00001 bar (or 1 bar = 100,000 Pa). This conversion is frequently used in industrial applications. For example, standard atmospheric pressure (101,325 Pa) equals approximately 1.01325 bar.
- PSI (Pound per Square Inch): 1 pascal equals approximately 0.000145038 psi. This conversion is essential for interfacing with equipment using imperial measurements. For example, 100,000 Pa equals approximately 14.5 psi.
- Atmosphere (atm): 1 pascal equals approximately 9.8692×10⁻⁶ atm. Standard atmospheric pressure is defined as exactly 101,325 Pa or 1 atm.
- Torr: 1 pascal equals approximately 0.00750062 torr. This conversion is commonly used in vacuum technology. For example, 133.322 Pa equals 1 torr.
- Millibar (mbar): 1 pascal equals 0.01 millibar. This conversion is frequently used in meteorology. For example, standard atmospheric pressure equals 1013.25 mbar.
The pascal is fundamental to pressure measurement, providing a standardized unit for scientific calculations and engineering specifications.

About the Pascal
Facts & Uses
- SI derived unit of pressure: 1 Pa = 1 N/m². Named after Blaise Pascal (1623-1662), the French mathematician and physicist.
- Universal in scientific publications, weather data (hectopascals on barometric charts), and engineering specifications.
- The pascal is a very small unit for everyday pressures — atmospheric pressure is ~101,325 Pa, so weather forecasts use hectopascals (hPa) or kilopascals (kPa).
- Used in fluid mechanics, vacuum measurements, materials science (stress and strain), and tire pressure in metric markets.
Curiosities
- The pascal was adopted as the SI unit of pressure at the 14th CGPM in 1971, replacing the older mechanical units like dyne/cm² (CGS) and lbf/in² (imperial).
- 1 Pa is roughly the pressure exerted by a thin layer of paper resting on a tabletop — about 0.0000099 atmospheres.
- The millibar (mbar), traditionally used in meteorology, equals exactly 1 hPa (100 Pa). Most modern weather services have switched to hPa for SI compatibility.
- Approximate equivalents: 1 Pa ≈ 0.000145 psi; 1 atm = 101,325 Pa = 1013.25 hPa = 14.696 psi.
