The pressure in bar.
European appliance and fitting ratings are usually gauge pressure, sometimes written barg. Confirm before comparing against an absolute figure.
Pressure
58.02 psi
1 bar = 14.5038 psi, from 1 bar = 100,000 Pa exactly. One bar lifts water roughly 10.2 m — useful when comparing a pressure rating against a static head.
- Conversion factor applied
- 14.5 psi per bar

What this calculation does not cover
- The conversion has no way to know whether the number you typed is gauge or absolute. The two differ by about one atmosphere, roughly 14.7 psi, so on a low-pressure water or gas system converting the wrong one is a larger error than anything else on the page.
- Pressure is not flow. An appliance minimum is normally a pressure and a flow rate together, and whether the flow actually arrives depends on pipe bore, run length, fittings and height, none of which this calculation touches.
- Static and dynamic pressure are not distinguished. A standing reading with nothing running is higher than what a fitting sees under flow, and transients such as water hammer or thermal expansion in a closed system go above both. Whichever figure you enter is simply converted.
- Converting a rating is not checking one. No safety factor and no test-pressure multiplier is applied, and nothing is derated for temperature: plastic pipe, seals and hoses hold materially less hot than cold.
- Negative gauge pressure is outside the input range. The field floors at zero, so a vacuum reading such as -0.8 barg cannot be converted here.

Equipment rated in bar meeting gauges and fittings marked in psi is routine wherever European plant lands on an American site, or vice versa. Multiply by 14.5 and the job is done, though the shortcut of multiplying by fifteen overstates by three percent and should stay out of anything involving a safety margin. Two useful anchors go with this conversion. A compressor's tank pressure and its regulated output are different figures, and tools are specified against the latter. And one bar corresponds to about 10.2 metres of water head, which is the relationship that lets a pump duty, a static lift and a component's pressure rating all be compared on the same terms.
