Pressure is measured in pascal, which is the pressure of 1 newton over 1 square meter. (A newton is the amount of force needed to accelerate 1 kilogram by 1 meter per second per second.

In the English system, pressure is measured in pounds per square inch. A pound per square inch is equal to about 6,890 pascal.

Pressure can be measured in pounds per square unit. This is the most common way to measure pressure in the US. The standard SI unit for pressure measurement is the Pascal (Pa) which is equivalent to one Newton per square meter (N/m2) or the KiloPascal (kPa) where 1 kPa = 1000 Pa. In the English system, pressure is usually expressed in pounds per square inch (psi).

PSI=pounds per square inch (English Standard Units)

atm=standard atmospheres

mm Hg or in Hg=millimeters or inches oh Mercury.

kPas=kilogram Pascals

mBar=millibar

mT=milli Torr

T=Torr

Pas=Pascals

A unit of pressure is (any unit of force) divided by (any unit of area).

Usually pressure (in the US) is specified by psi.
