MAP Sensor

[efi_student]

Let's try it one more time...

1 kgf/cm^2 = 14.223343 psi
1 Bar = 100 kPa = 14.50 psi
1 Atm = 14.696 psi (this is the standard, not necessarily true in your
area)

These numbers come from the Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, and this
subject is a popular point of debate on import lists...Japanese gauges
ALL read in kgf/cm^2, some European gauges read in Bar, nobody makes a
gauge for an automotive application that reads in atm.  Here's a link to
a fairly complete chart in Excel that I made a few years ago when I was
working in a gas analysis lab...

I stand corrected

1 atmosphere (1kgf/cm)  is 14.22 pound per square in.
1 Bar is 100 kPa
100 kPa is 14.5 PSI
1 Bar is 0.98692 of an Atmosphere

Close enough ?
