No calculator needed with this one.

I have found this piece of software *extremely* useful for this kind of problem*.

* I don't object to tyre pressures being in psi, or beer coming pints (frequently!), but why, why, why, can't all engineering calculations be done in SI units? My bi-directional whinge is to those across the Atlantic for using silly units, and those across the channel for using silly multipliers in front of otherwise sensible units.

>those across the Atlantic for using silly units,
The locals in Texas were amazed when I told them that I would have to get my speedometer converted from miles per hour to furlongs per fortnight when I shipped my Chevy over here.

As I use Google for almost everything, can I remind you of the calculator and converter available. At the google prompt try
2 bar in psi
2 bar = 29.0075475 pounds per square inch
Watchout for American values though
1 imperial gallon in liters
1 Imperial gallon = 4.54609188 liters
1 gallon in liters
1 US gallon = 3.7854118 liters
100 miles / 10 liters in mpg
(100 miles) / (10 liters) = 37.854118 miles per gallon
100 miles / 10 liters in miles per imperial gallon
(100 miles) / (10 liters) = 45.4609188 miles per Imperial gallon

Just plonk it into Google:

My Michelin tyre pressure guage, which is about 20 years old, features both bar and psi on its large dial.

Don't you wish people would leave things alone? We've had perfectly usable and commonly understood measurements for decades if not centuries, now you have to go and fire up your computer just to work out what your tyre pressures should be.
Damn ridiculous if you ask me.
Motion is NOT the same as progress.

In that case I'm being exceedingly slapdash in only adjusting my tyre pressures to approximately the nearest 0.25 psi on my pencil-type gauge!!!

I was told at university 20 odd years ago that SI was nonsense as it did not just include (taking force as an example) Newtons but "Kilogramme force", crinals and dynes.
Lets go back to the onld slugs and poundals - that will really confuse everyone - it confused the hell out of us us when he set questions using imperial measures!

so 2.0 bar = 29psi and 2.2 = 31psi?
|
No.
29 and 32 respectively.
Use the converter DD referred you to.

No. Use the converter DD referred you to.
Or even a bit of simple mental arithmetic -- do they teach it in schools these days?
2.2 is 10% more than 2.0. So what psi is 10% more than 29?
Answer, 29 plus 2.9 = 31.9.
