The math
How to convert m to bar
A column of fluid pushes with p = ρ g h: the height times the density times gravity. For water that is about 1 bar every 10 meters, or 1 psi every 2.31 feet. The figures below use the fluid selected above.
Example: 30 m = 2.9367 bar.
The table below is for Water (998 kg/m³).
