Re: Metric pressure to ft lbs conversion

[Joe Elliott <jee@domain.elided>]

One bar is defined as 100,000 Pascals, and one psi is about 6900 Pa, so 8.2 
bar would be ~120 psi, or ~1700 lb/ft^2 (there are 144 square inches in a 
square foot...), but psi is the what's generally quoted for compression 
tests.  For future reference (I take it you have a Japanese compression 
gauge or something) 1 bar = 14.5 psi.
