Did you know that the pressure gauge reading of 43.2 lbs/in2 on a compressed air tank can be converted into different units of pressure? Here are the conversions: a. Torr: 1 lb/in2 is equal to 51.715 Torr. Therefore, the pressure in torr would be 43.2 x 51.715 = 2,232.048 Torr. b. mmHg: 1 lb/in2 is equal to 34.531 mmHg. Thus, the pressure in mmHg would be 43.2 x 34.531 = 1,489.1392 mmHg. c. atm: 1 atm is equivalent to 14.696 lb/in2. Consequently, the pressure in atm would be 43.2 / 14.696 = 2.941 atm. d. Pa: 1 lb/in2 is equal to 6894.76 Pascal (Pa). Therefore, the pressure in Pa would be 43.2 x 6894.76 = 297,446.272 Pascal. e. kPa: 1 kPa is equal to 0.1450 lb/in2. Hence, the pressure in kPa would be 43.2 x 0.1450 = 6.264 kPa. By converting the pressure gauge reading, we can better understand and compare the pressure in various units.
