2. Tire-pressure gauge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire-pressure_gauge

   A tire-pressure gauge displaying bar (outside) and psi (inside) Since tires are rated for specific loads at certain pressure, it is important to keep the pressure of the tire at the optimal amount. The precision of a typical mechanical gauge as shown is ±3 psi (21 kPa). Higher precision gauges with ±1 psi (6.9 kPa) uncertainty can also be ...

3. Cold inflation pressure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_inflation_pressure

   A 2001 NHTSA study found that 40% of passenger cars have at least one tire under-inflated by 0.4 bars (6 psi) or more. [1] The number one cause of tire failure was determined to be under-inflation. Drivers are encouraged to make sure their tires are adequately inflated at all times.

4. Tire-pressure monitoring system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire-pressure_monitoring...

   Further, a difference of 10 pounds per square inch (69 kPa; 0.69 bar) in pressure on a set of duals literally drags the lower pressured tire 2.5 metres per kilometre (13 feet per mile). Moreover, running a tire even briefly on inadequate pressure breaks down the casing and prevents the ability to retread.

5. Pound per square inch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pound_per_square_inch

   The kilopound per square inch (ksi) is a scaled unit derived from psi, equivalent to a thousand psi (1000 lbf/in 2). ksi are not widely used for gas pressures. They are mostly used in materials science, where the tensile strength of a material is measured as a large number of psi. [4] The conversion in SI units is 1 ksi = 6.895 MPa, or 1 MPa ...

6. Metrication in Australia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metrication_in_Australia

   Oil and petrol is sold in litres. Vehicle tyres (as in the rest of the world) mark the rim diameter in inches and the width in millimetres, such that a tyre marked '165/70R13' has a width of 165 mm, an aspect ratio (profile) of 70% and a 13-inch rim diameter. Tyre pressures may be given in either kilopascals (kPa) or pounds per square inch (PSI).

7. Orders of magnitude (pressure) - Wikipedia

   520 kPa 75 psi Partial vapour pressure at the triple point of carbon dioxide [62] +690 to +830 kPa +100 to +120 psi Air pressure in a heavy truck/bus tire relative to atmosphere (gauge pressure) [citation needed] 800 kPa 120 psi Vapor pressure of water in a kernel of popcorn when the kernel ruptures [63] 10 6 Pa
