Enter the compression ratio into the calculator to convert into pounds per square inch.
Compression Ratio to PSI Formula
The following formula is used to convert a compression ratio to PSI.
PSI = X:Y*P
- Where PSI is the pounds per square inch
- X:Y is the compression ratio
- P is the pressure (typically standard atmospheric pressure (14.696)
