Short background on the units used in this conversion.
Pounds per square inch (psi) measures force in pounds distributed over each square inch of area.
PSI is the default for US tire pressure, HVAC systems, hydraulics, and many industrial pressure ratings.
The bar is a metric pressure unit equal to exactly 100,000 pascals, slightly below one standard atmosphere.
Bars are common in European tire pressure gauges, scuba diving, and industrial compressed-air systems.
