Converting Pounds Per Square Inch or PSI to Millibars - Pressure Unit Conversion Problem

This example problem demonstrates how to convert the pressure unit pounds per square inch (psi) to millibars (mb).Problem:The average air pressure at sea level is 14.6 psi. What is this pressure in mbar?Solution:1 psi 68.947 mbarSet up the conversion so the desired unit will be canceled out. In this case, we want mbar to be the remaining unit.pressure in mbar (pressure in psi) x (68.947 mbar/1 psi)pressure in mbar (14.6 x 68.947) mbarpressure in mbar 1006.6 mbarAnswer:The average sea level air pressure is 1006.6 mbar.
