Tyre inflation calculator
Enter “current|target” tyre pressure to convert between PSI, BAR and KPA and see exactly how much air to add, with temperature correction.

Inflation plan
The target in four units, converted to the current temperature, plus the top-up needed.

Target kPa: 0
What this tool does
- Convert a PSI placard into the BAR your pump shows, and see how much to add.
- Check whether hot motorway readings really exceed the cold specification.
- Work out the seasonal top-up when ambient temperature drops from 20 °C to 5 °C.
Example
Input
2.2|2.4
Output
当前 2.2 bar,目标 2.4 bar(冷胎 20 °C 下的目标):需要补气 0.240935 bar 当前读数(bar) = 2.2 bar 目标冷胎胎压(bar) = 2.4 bar 磅力每平方英寸 (psi) = 34.809057 psi 巴 (bar) = 2.4 bar 千帕 (kPa) = 240 kPa 千克力每平方厘米 (kgf/cm²) = 2.447319 kgf/cm² 折算到 25 °C 时要打的读数 = 2.440935 bar 需要补充 = 0.240935 bar(24.093468 kPa) 折算基准:1 psi = 6.894757293168361 kPa,1 bar = 100 kPa;温度修正按等容关系 P₂ = P₁ × (T₂ + 273.15) ÷ (T₁ + 273.15)。 气泵表普遍有 ±5% 误差,建议打到目标后隔天冷胎复测一次;带胎压监测(TPMS)的车可直接看仪表读数。
At 32 psi with a 35 psi cold target (20 °C), inflate to about 35.597 psi at 25 °C — a 3.597 psi top-up.
Frequently asked questions
What input format is expected?
Two numbers separated by a pipe or space: current|target, e.g. 32|35 or “2.2 2.4”, both in the unit you select (psi by default). Use the placard cold pressure as the target.
Why correct for temperature?
Pressure changes about 3.4% per 10 °C by the ideal-gas relationship. The placard gives a cold value while you may be inflating at 25 °C or right after a motorway run, so the target must be converted to the current temperature.
Will the result be exact?
Pumps are typically accurate to ±5%, so recheck cold the next day. A TPMS readout is usually steadier than a handheld gauge.
What does a negative top-up mean?
The current reading is above target, so you need to let air out instead of adding it. The tool states that explicitly.
