How to Convert psi to Atmosphere
- 1 psi = 0.06804596391 atm
- 1 atm = 14.69594878 psi
- Example: convert 15 psi to atm: 15 psi = 15 × 0.06804596391 atm = 1.020689459 atm
Formula
atm = psi × 0.06804596390988
or atm = psi ÷ 14.69594877551
Derivation from SI units:
- 1 psi = 1 lbf/in² = (0.45359237 kg × 9.80665 m/s²) ÷ (0.0254 m)² = 6894.757293168 Pa
- 1 atm = 101 325 Pa (exact, by definition)
- 1 psi = 6894.757293168 Pa ÷ 101325 Pa per atm = 0.06804596390988 atm
Both units are defined exactly, so the factor is exact. psi definition: psi; Atmosphere definition: atmosphere.
Worked examples
- 14.696 psi is essentially 1.000003486 atm.
14.696 psi × 0.06804596391 = 1.000003486 atm - An absolute pressure of 100 psi is 6.804596391 atm.
100 psi × 0.06804596391 = 6.804596391 atm

Where it's used
Expressing psia values in atmospheres helps with gas-law calculations and diving tables. Use absolute values; gauge readings (psig) need about 14.7 psi added first.
