                        Hi all,
                        I´ve seen interesting questions about the adequate air pressure for painting with airbrush, but is always used in psi, here in Portugal we use bar can anyone convert it?
                        how many psi equals to 1 bar?
                        thanks

                        If I did this calculation right....1 bar = 466.645 p.s.i.

                        Okay:

                        One pound per square inch (psi) = 0.0689476 Bars

                        One Bar = 14.5038 psi

                        Doing this conversion on a daily basis. i Can say that naplak is right on this one
                        1psi = 0.0689476 Bar
                        1 bar = 14.5038 psi
                        you can get guages to read both pressures, that is what i did on my tank. Smile [:)]
