Soccer balls inflating
instructions
Use Proper Air Pressure
Do not over or under pressurize a ball.
Use the manufactures recommended air pressure that is printed on most balls.
Most soccer balls have a pressure rating of 6 to 8 lbs. or 0.6 or 0.8 BAR.
It is recommended that you use a pressure gauge to measure the exact amount
of pressure in a ball after inflating and before use.
BAR or PSI or LBS?
Some soccer balls have recommended pressure
values indicated in BAR while others have the values indicated in PSI or
LBS. To convert the pressure values, use the following formulas:
To convert BAR (KGS) to PSI (Lbs.):
Answer = 14.5037 X The amount of BAR(KGS)
For example: A soccer ball has a recommended
pressure of 0.6 BAR labeled on it. To convert BAR in Pounds Per Square
Inch (PSI), multiply 0.6 times 14.5037. The answer is 8.7 PSI or Lbs.
To convert PSI (Lbs.) to BAR(KGS):
Answer = .068948 X The amount of PSI(Lbs.)
For example: A soccer ball has a recommended
pressure of 7.9 Lbs. (PSI) labeled on it. To convert Pounds Per Square
Inch (PSI) into BAR, multiply 7.9 times .068948. The answer is 0.545 BAR.
