1 Bar is equal to 14.66666666666666666 psi?
Thanks.

BTW don't inflate your tires with a substandard compressor. IT MAY CATCH FIRE!

You only go to three decimal points? Thanks a lot.

Just kidding.

While we're being, well you know.. let's just say "type A's"

, 1 "atmosphere" is 14.7psi. That's supposed to be normal ambient air pressure at sea level. 1 "bar" is very similar, but not exactly the same at ~14.5psi like Jon said, but why they're different I don't know. The measurement "atmosphere" is used in diving with sea level being 1 atmosphere, a depth of 33' being 2atm, 66' = 3atm, etc. The term "Bar" I believe was derived from "barometric".
