1 bar = 14.5 psi

It is opening pressure or pop off pressure of the injector

260 bar = 3770 psi

The bar, decibar, centibar, and millibar are defined as:
  • 1 bar = 100 kPa (kilopascals) = 1,000,000 dynes per square centimeter (baryes) = 0.987 atm (atmospheres) = 14.5038 psi
  • 1 dbar = 0.1 bar = 10 kPa = 100,000 dyn/cm2
  • 1 cbar = 0.01 bar = 1 kPa
  • 1 mbar = 0.001 bar = 0.1 kPa = 1 hPa (hectopascal) = 1,000 dyn/cm2
Example conversion: 1 atm pressure = 1.01325 bar = 1.01325 x 105 Pa = 1.01325 x
105 N/m2


The word bar has its origin in the Greek word βάρος (baros), meaning weight. Its official symbol is "bar"; the earlier "b" is now deprecated, but still often seen especially in "mb" rather than the proper "mbar" for millibars.
The bar and millibar were introduced by Sir Napier Shaw in 1909 and internationally adopted in 1929.
