Mechanics can adjust a car's handling by raising or lowering air pressure in the tires. Flex in the sidewall of a tire acts like another spring in the suspension. Increasing the air pressure makes the overall spring rate higher, while lowering the pressure will make it softer. This adjustment can be made much more quickly and easily than changing a spring on a shock.
The total weight of air above a specific point. The unit of measure is the millibar (mb) or hecto pascal (hp). Atmospheric (air) pressure is highest at the earth's surface. Air masses are never at exactly the same pressure. An area of low pressure is known as a depression. An area of high pressure is known as an anticyclone. Increasing air pressure usually indicates an improving weather situation with calm conditions likely.
Force exerted by air within tyre, expressed in bar. Note that pressure is not equivalent to force change
or atmospheric pressure. Air pressure is the force exerted on a surface by the weight of the air above it. The internationally recognized unit for measuring this pressure is the kilopascal. In the U.S.A. usually expressed in millibars (mb) or inches of mercury (Hg).
Air, as well as other fluids, exerts an inward force on any object it surrounds. This static pressure is measured in N/m2 or atmospheres. An atmosphere, which is approximately equal to the air pressure at sea level at 0° C, is equal to about 101,317 N/m2.
The push that air exerts on its surroundings.
See: Atmospheric pressure.
measure of the force of air pressing down on the Earth's surface
the weight of air pressing on one square meter surface
Force that air exerts over a certain area due to it's weight or motion.

The amount that air is compressed, which is typically measured in "pounds per square inch" (PSI) for use in US auto body industry. However, this pressure can also be measured in other ways including "bars" which equal 14.2 PSI or in "kilonewtons per square centimeter" (Kn.sqcm)
barometric pressure; weight of the atmosphere at a particular point of interest.
pressure exerted by the weight of air over a given area of Earth's surface. Also called atmospheric pressure or barometric pressure.
Simply put, the weight of the air. The more air, the higher the pressure, the less air, the lower the pressure.
Is the force exerted on a unit area by air molecules.
The force exerted by a column of air above a given point.
Force exerted by air within tire, expressed in psi or bar
The downward push of the air in the atmosphere.
force per unit area caused by the weight of the atmosphere pushing on the surface of the earth
The weight and force of the air pressing down on the Earth and everything air touches. Changes in air pressure create winds, clouds, and clues about what weather may do.
force with which air presses against things
Pressure is the force acting on a unit area. It is measured in Pascals(Pa), sometimes referred to as Newtons per square metre (N/m2). 1 Pa = 1 N/m2.
Or Atmospheric Pressure, is the weight exerted by the air. It is commonly measured by a barometer and expressed as inches of mercury. At sea level, a column of air that is one square inch in area will normally weigh 14.7 pounds and be able to hold a column of mercury in a vacuum tube to 29.92 inches high.
the weight of the atmosphere pushing down on the earth
The total gas pressure (static plus velocity).
Is the force exerted by air within a tyre. This is measured in Pounds per Square Inch (PSI) or KiloPascals (kPa).
With the advent of radial tires that have stiffer sidewalls, changing air pressure in the tires is used just as adjusting spring rates in the vehicle's suspension is done. An increase in air pressure raises the spring rate in the tires and changes the race car's handling properties. If a race car was coming out of a corner tightly, the race car driver might need a little increase in air pressure in the right rear tire to loosen it up a bit.
the pressure exerted by the air
the force per unit area exerted by the weight of air; at sea level the air pressure is 14.7 psi. (air pressure decreases with altitude.)
The amount of air inside the tire pressing outward on each square inch of tire; expressed in pounds per square inch (psi) or kiloPascals (kPa), the metric designation for air pressure.
the force that air molecules exert on the objects beneath them; has a major effect on the weather
With the advent of radial tires with stiffer sidewalls, changing air pressure in the tires is used as another setup tool that is akin to adjusting spring rates in the vehicle's suspension. An increase in air pressure raises the "spring rate" in the tire itself and changes the vehicle's handling characteristics. If his race vehicle was "tight" coming off a corner, a driver might request a slight air pressure increase in the right rear tire to "loosen it up."
The weight of the atmosphere pressing down on the Earth's surface. The effect is caused by gravity. Also called 'atmospheric pressure'.
The weight of air above a given point, measured with a barometer.
Force exerted by air within tire, expressed in pounds per inch.
Psr and Pyr are gauge pressures measured by a manometer or other pressure measuring device connected to a Pitot tube or to pressure taps.
The force caused by the weight of air.
The force created by air pushing on a surface.
the force with which air presses down on the ground below
the weight of the Earth's atmosphere pressing down on the Earth's surface (or any other surface)
the weight of air pressing on a surface
Pressure caused by the weight of the air
Measurement of the force exerted by air above, at, or below atmospheric pressure on a unit of area.
the measure of the force exterted by the air inside a tire, measured in pounds per square inch (psi) or kiloPascals (kPa)
Air pressure is the weight of the column of air that extends from the ground (or water's surface) to the top of the atmosphere. Air pressure is also called barometric pressure; it is measured by a barometer. The air pressure is very low in a hurricane.
