Thus, 1 bar is equal to: 1,000,000 Ba (in cgs units); and 1 bar is approximately equal to: 0.98692327 atm; 14.503774 psi; 29.529983 inHg; 750.06158 mmHg; 750.06168 Torr; 1019.716 centimetres of water (cmH 2 O) (1 bar approximately corresponds to the gauge pressure of water at a depth of 10 meters). 1 millibar (mbar) is equal to:
The unit used in the US is the foot sea water (fsw), based on standard gravity and a sea-water density of 64 lb/ft 3. According to the US Navy Diving Manual, one fsw equals 0.30643 msw, 0.030 643 bar, or 0.444 44 psi, [1] [2] though elsewhere it states that 33 fsw is 14.7 psi (one atmosphere), which gives one fsw equal to about 0.445 psi.

The first World Championship Grand Prix was held in 1950 at Silverstone; since then 77 circuits in total have hosted a Grand Prix.A lot of classic (older) circuits have hosted Grands Prix using different configurations throughout their history: Nürburgring, Spa-Francorchamps, Monza, etc. Taking Nürburgring as an example, the first World Championship race there used the 22.835 km (14.189 mi ...
1.5 psi Pressure increase per meter of a water column [26] 10 kPa 1.5 psi Decrease in air pressure when going from Earth sea level to 1000 m elevation [citation needed] +13 kPa +1.9 psi High air pressure for human lung, measured for trumpet player making staccato high notes [48] < +16 kPa +2.3 psi
The formula simply divides the absolute partial pressure of oxygen which can be tolerated (expressed in atm or bar) by the fraction of oxygen in the breathing gas, to calculate the absolute pressure at which the mix can be breathed. (for example, 50% nitrox can be breathed at twice the pressure of 100% oxygen, so divide by 0.5, etc.).
One bar is 100 kPa or approximately ambient pressure at sea level. Ambient pressure may in other circumstances be measured in pounds per square inch (psi) or in standard atmospheres (atm). The ambient pressure at sea level is approximately one atmosphere, which is equal to 1.01325 bars (14.6959 psi), which is close enough for bar and atm to be ...
The race was postponed and finally cancelled due to protests in the country but F1 returned to the track for the 2012 Bahrain Grand Prix. 2014 saw the track host its first ever Grand Prix under lights, as the race was scheduled as a night race to celebrate the tenth year of Formula 1 at the circuit. Subsequent editions of the race have also ...
After Formula One moved away, the only major race being held at Interlagos was the Mil Milhas Brasil, and the last major race on the original circuit was the 1989 Mil Milhas Brasil. Formula One returned to the circuit in 1990 after it had been shortened and modified at a cost of $15 million. The track layout, aside from the pit exit being ...
