Baryes to PSI (Ba to psi)
1 barye equals 0.00001450377377 pounds per square inch (rounded).
How to convert baryes to pounds per square inch
To convert baryes to pounds per square inch, multiply the number of baryes by 0.00001450377377. The factor is rounded to 10 significant digits. To go the other way, multiply pounds per square inch by 68,947.57293 (rounded).
pounds per square inch = baryes × 0.00001450377377
Example: 10 baryes = 0.0001450377377 pounds per square inch.
About these units
Barye (Ba)
Exactly 0.1 pascal, the CGS unit of pressure (one dyne per square centimeter).
Tiny by everyday standards, the barye is the pressure unit of the centimeter-gram-second system. It is one dyne of force spread over one square centimeter, which works out to one gram per centimeter per second squared, or exactly 0.1 pascal. The same quantity has also been called a microbar, and older texts used other spellings and variants such as bary, barad and barrie.
Because of those names the barye is easy to confuse with the bar. In older usage the plain word bar sometimes meant one dyne per square centimeter, particularly in acoustics, a usage now regarded as incorrect. The modern bar is a million baryes, or 100,000 pascals. The barye fits the family of CGS units laid out after the 1873 British Association committee recommended the centimeter, gram and second, and it sits beside the dyne and the erg. It now survives mainly in older physics and acoustics literature. NIST lists the same value as dyne per square centimeter.
1 barye = 0.1 pascals (exactly).

Pound Per Square Inch (psi)
About 6,894.757 pascals. The common unit for tire pressure, hydraulics and gas pipelines in the US.
Unlike most pressure units, psi has no namesake: it simply spells out its own definition, one pound-force acting on one square inch, and it is based on avoirdupois units. Used mainly in the United States, it is about 6.895 kilopascals.
The letters after the unit matter. Psia is measured against a vacuum, while psig is measured against the surrounding air, so at sea level, where the atmosphere is about 14.7 psi, you add that amount to a gauge reading to get an absolute one. A bicycle tire at 65 psig is therefore at 79.7 psia, and the label psid means a difference between two pressures rather than a reference to ambient air.
Typical automobile tires are listed at about 32 psig, and road racing bicycle tires at about 120 psig. One standard atmosphere is 14.696 psi, which gives a feel for how many multiples of sea-level air those tire pressures represent.
1 pound per square inch = 6,894.757293 pascals (approximately).
