Question

What are the various measuring units used for "pressure".Give the equivelent value of each unit with other unit

Answer 1

The SI unit for pressure is pascal [Pa] (the correct way to write units deriving from a scientist's surname is capitol letter for the symbol and no capitol letter for extended name of the unit {newton or N})
there are a lot of pressure units but being pascal the most "universal" I'll give you equivalences in pascal.

pascal is 1N / 1m²

Atm(atmosphere) = 101325 Pa
atmosphere, technical (at)= 98066.5 Pa
Bar= 100000 Pa
cmHg(centimeter of mercury)= 1333.224 Pa
Dyna/cm² = 0.1 Pa
InHg(inch of mercury)=3386.388 Pa
kgf/cm² = 98066.5 Pa {kgf stand for kg force, that is more proper in this case}
kgf/m² = 9.80665 Pa
mmHg(also called torricelli [Torr])= 133.3224 Pa
pound-force/foot² (lbf / ft² )= 47.88026 Pa
pound-force/inch² (PSI)= 6894.757 Pa
inch of water, conventional (inH2O)= 249.0889 Pa
centimeter of water, conventional (cmH²O)= 98.0665 Pa
foot of mercury, conventional (ftHg)= 40636.66 Pa
foot of water, conventional (ftH2O)= 2989.067 Pa

but the possible units are almost infinite...every height of a fluid(centimeter of orange juice, inch of whiskey), every force/surface can be used as pressure unit, but the world really don't need a larger amount of units....

Answer 2

The SI unit is the Pascal (Pa), which is equal to the N/m^2.

Atmospheric pressure is measured in bars, which is equal to 10^5 Pa.

Someone else might add the imperial units.
