Pressure Converter: keep the same pressure reference
Pressure units convert by a fixed ratio. Changing the unit does not change whether a value is gauge pressure or absolute pressure.
This is not a tire-pressure recommendation. Use the vehicle or equipment specification; gauge-to-absolute conversion requires a pressure reference.
Temperature: Convert Fahrenheit to Celsius and Kelvin with instant results, common temperature presets, and checks against values below absolute zero.

How the conversion works
Pressure units convert by a fixed ratio. Changing the unit does not change whether a value is gauge pressure or absolute pressure.
2.4 bar = 240 kPa, approximately 34.81 PSI.

FAQ
How many kPa are in one bar?
One bar equals exactly 100 kPa.
Does this convert gauge pressure to absolute pressure?
No. It keeps the original reference. Gauge and absolute pressure differ by the local atmospheric pressure.
What is kgf/cm²?
Kilogram-force per square centimeter is a pressure unit. It is not kilograms of mass per square centimeter.
