just what the title says. I am just ingnorant in that measurement. Also if you could fill me in, I would appreciate it.
what is 1.96 Kg/cm2 in psi?

95GST is correct.... 1kg/cm^2=14.22psi
1kg/cm^2 is not equal to 1 bar.

The conversion is easy to figure out.
psi = pounds per square inch.
1 kg = 2.204623 lb
1 cm = 0.3937008 inch
Thus,
1kg/cm^2 = 14.22334 psi
Oh, by the way, the bar unit is not an arbitrary number.
It's origins are in meteorology (hence, a barometer measures atmposheric pressure), and it is equal to 10^5 Pa. A pascal is the SI unit for pressure, N/m^2.

Bar represents atmospheric pressure. 1 Bar is 1 atmosphere. 14.7 psi.Devicex said:I was under the same impression, 1 bar = kg/cm2, but I was wrong. What is Bar supposed to represent then, other then some seemingly random number? I'll stick with psi

Hey, I learn something new everyday
I think we are using kg/cm^2 because that is what our devices (boost gauge and EVC in my case) are using as units of measure. I thought the units were the same so I used the term BAR to represent kg/cm^2, but found out they are not exactly equal. I'm glad I learned that they are different so people don't think I'm a moron when I say im running 1.35 BAR and it is really 1.35 kg/cm^2, which is what i should say. I guess BAR is just easier to say like PSI.
