Feet to Metres (Feet x 0.305 = Metres)

Metres to Feet (Metres x 3.281 = Feet)



BAR to PSI (BAR x 14.5 = PSI)

PSI to BAR (PSI x 0.07 = BAR)

Hi, I use Calculator Plus from Microsoft on my notebook, its free and does loads of different conversions like pressure, volume, length etc.
Download it here

Hope this helps.

3.3 foot to a metre so 100ft is 30m

14.7 psi is 1 bar so divide by 15 to get a rough answer.

Hi,

All posts very good, but maybe what you need is something simple

200 Bar = 3000psi
100 bar = 1500psi
50 bar = 750psi

30m = 100ft
25m = 82.5ft
20m = 66ft
15m = 50ft
10m = 33ft
6m = 20ft

all these are as close as you will need.

Jason

Yep, 1 bar = 14.5 psi
and 1 atm (atmosphere) = 14.7 psi

or in modern terms

1 bar = 0.1 MPa (MegaPascal)
