Altitude Units to Pressure Units Conversion

Convert here from an altitude in feet or metres above sea level to a pressure reading in millibar (mb or mbar), hectoPascals (hPa), pounds per square inch (psi), millimetres of mercury at zero degrees celsius (mmHg @ 0 deg C) or inches of mercury at zero degrees celsius ( inHg @ 0 deg C).

The above height above sea level conversions to pressure units are derived using the US Standard Atmosphere 1976 barometric formula for geopotential altitude with the following physical constants and multi-valued (*) constants for sea level up to a height of 36,089 ft (11,000m)

1. *Standard atmospheric pressure of 1013.25 mb absolute at sea level
2. *Standard temperature of 288.15 K (15°C)
3. *Standard thermal gradient or lapse rate of -0.0065 K/km increase in altitude
4. Standard acceleration due to gravity of 9.80665 m/s2
5. Gas constant for air of 8.31432 J/Kmol K
6. Molar mass of air of0.0289644 kg/mole

Please note that the values above are not derived from absolutely precise values due to limitations of significant figures and decimal places and therefore should not be treated as exact values.
