About the pound per square inch and the standard atmosphere
The pound per square inch
The pound per square inch (psi) is the customary US pressure unit, derived from the avoirdupois pound-force on a square inch (≈ 6,894.76 Pa exactly). It is the standard unit on US car tire-pressure stickers, scuba gauges in the US, and most plumbing specifications.
The standard atmosphere
The standard atmosphere (atm) is defined as exactly 101,325 Pa. It is the conventional reference for chemistry (gas-law calculations), aviation altimetry, and historic engineering. Despite the name, it is not the actual atmospheric pressure at any single place — that varies daily.
