  It’s the Imperial Gangnam Style unit

  100.000 PSI is equal to 1 bar(if I remember correctly)

    Unfortunately no, 1 bar (1 atmosphere) is 100,000 pascal

    PSI is pounds per square inch and is roughly 14.5 PSI to 1 bar, and to me, way less intuitive than bar

      Ah thanks.

      PSI is a nice scale for tire pressure since most tires will be between 20-100 PSI. There’s pretty much never a reason to use decimals, and 5 PSI is the most useful increment.

      Bar is probably nicer for a bunch of other things, but for everyday use, PSI has a nice scale. That’s also why I prefer Fahrenheit to Celcius for weather, but Celcius for cooking and science.

    no, not at all. bar is a logical metric unit, psi is imperial. because the us doesn’t know what powers of 10 are, there’s never a nice conversion factor.

      US uses both and is capable of conversion. It is unfortunate, but saying it doesn’t know powers of ten is pretty condescending.

        I said (or at least meant) that imperial doesn’t use powers of ten like metrkc
