Need to translate 0.9 Bar to PSI

[GyroRon]

I am going to the autoparts store tomorrow to try to buy a radiator cap for the expansion tank I bought from RFD to use on my Rotax 582. The cap size would be the larger type used on full size cars or trucks. The rotax paperwork says to use a 0.9 Bar cap. What PSi is that????? Thanks.

Ron, if I am not mistaken, 1 bar= 1 atmosphere or 14.7 psi.
I am trying to remember from my days as a machine technician where we had alot of french and canadian machines.

I'd guess 13 lb cab should be adequate. good luck.

1 bar = 14.504 psi. .9 bar ~ 13 psi.

I think 1 Bar = 1 atmosphere or 14.7 Lbs/squ in, or 100 Kpa

If that is correct, 0.9 Bar = 13.23 Lbs/squ in.

Thanks guys, I knew the math guys would jump on this quick! Apprec

1 bar = 15 PSI (Not exactly, but close enough)
0.9 bar = 13.5 PSI

One bar, Tim, equals one million dynes per square centimeter which happens to be 0.9869 atm.

One dyne is the force required to accelerate one gram of mass one cm/sec^2.

Go to this site : http://www.joshmadison.com/software/

download the 600k file called convert.exe . It is a small file size program that will convert just about any measurement to any other.
I find it really handy.

I'd post an image of the console but I don't know how to get an image on here.

I second Ray's suggestion. I have this utility also, and it's very useful.

Here's a picture:

How about a posting pictures for dummies tutorial?
Step by step please.

I didn't see any way to do it but it might have been because I was "replying".
A dialog box kept popping up looking for a url.

Ray,

I'll try to get something posted this evening.

Thanks, Ray. I just downloaded that little conversion program and it’s about the handiest thing I’ve ever seen. And it’s free.

Check this one out. Makes my head hurt just thinking about it.

Chuck,
Damn, foiled again. The atmosphere must be heavier down here. We are lower on the map -that might account for it, or it may be the extra weight of the Bulls#it that we carry on with.

[C. Beaty]

To say that one bar equals one atmosphere is close enough for government work, Tim.

To say one bar = 0.9869 atm is picking at nits.
