PSI to Atmospheres: 1 psi equals 0.068046 atm. To convert psi to atmospheres, multiply by 0.068046 (atm = psi × 0.068046). For example, 10 psi = 0.68046 atm.
How to Convert PSI to Atmospheres
To convert from psi to atmospheres, multiply the value by 0.068046. The conversion is linear, meaning doubling the input doubles the output.
Conversion Formula
- PSI to Atmospheres:
atm = psi × 0.068046 - Atmospheres to PSI:
psi = atm ÷ 0.068046

Understanding the Units
What is a PSI?
One pound-force per square inch (psi) equals approximately 6,894.757 pascals.
Common contexts: tire pressure, plumbing, pneumatic systems (US).
What is an Atmosphere?
A standard atmosphere equals exactly 101,325 pascals — defined as the average atmospheric pressure at sea level.
Common contexts: chemistry, reference conditions.
