How it's calculated

Formula

P=FAP = \dfrac{F}{A}
F
— Force in newtons
A
— Area in square meters

What is the Pressure Calculator?

Pressure is force distributed over an area — the same force spread over a larger area produces less pressure, and vice versa.

How to use it

  1. 1 Enter the force.
  2. 2 Enter the area it's applied over.

Worked examples

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert pascals to other pressure units?

Use the Pressure Converter to convert the result into bar, PSI or atmospheres.
