The definition of Pressure: 
 
A
F
P =  or 
dA
dF
P =  
Where: 
p is the pressure, 
F is the normal force, 
A is the area. 
Non-SI measures such as pound per square inch (psi) and bar are used in parts of the 
world Conversion between

/CmKg
  and P.S.I are list as below formula:

/CmKg   =  14.22  P.S.I   or   1P.S.I  =  0.07
