Convert 10 psi to bars

Explanation

Let's convert 10 pounds per square inch to bars, or psi to bar as one could put it.

First, we need to calculate the conversion factor using the units respective values. We find 0.06895.

Then we multiply this conversion factor by the number of pounds per square inch. In this case 10.

Therefore, 10 pounds per square inch is approximately equal to 0.6895 bars.

Formula

1 psi≈0.06895 bar

10 psi≈10 × 0.06895 bar

10 psi≈0.6895 bar
