Oil Field unit for Pressurepsi = 6894.76 Pa = 6.89476 kPa


In engineering practise when Pressure value is referenced in absolute terms, including the standard atmospheric pressure, the psi unit is then referred explicitly as psia:  P [psia] = P [psi].

This meant to avoid confusion when the Pressure value is referenced in relative terms as a surplus to the standard atmospheric pressure, and in this case the psi unit is referred as psig:  P [psig] = P[psi]  - 14.6959
