How the Pressure Converter Works
AnyTool Pressure Converter performs every calculation in the browser. Each unit declares a single linear factor relative to a shared pascal base — the exact number of pascals in one of that unit — so any unit converts to any other through pascals without an N-by-N table. The factors are the internationally-agreed definitions: one bar is 100,000 Pa, one standard atmosphere 101,325 Pa, one technical atmosphere 98,066.5 Pa, one psi 6894.757293168 Pa, one torr exactly 1/760 atm (≈ 133.322368 Pa), one mmHg 133.322387415 Pa, one inHg 3386.389 Pa and one millimetre of water 9.80665 Pa. A value is multiplied to pascals and then divided into the target unit.
- Fourteen units spanning SI, metric, US/imperial and vacuum scales
- The pascal (N/m²) is the shared base; each unit is one exact factor
- Conversion is value to base to value, so any unit maps to any other
- Editing either field converts both directions live
- All arithmetic is client-side JavaScript — no server round-trip
