Meters of altitude to air pressure
Type a value in m to get it in kPa instantly.
79.5kPa
That's 1.24× as high as Denver, while Mexico City is 1.12× higher. Water boils 6.634 °C cooler there than at sea level, so boiled food needs longer.
What it means
How high is that?
Standard atmosphere and the Antoine equation for water. Weather moves the real figure by about ±1 °C. Valid from 500 m below to 11 km above sea level.
The math
How to convert m to kPa
Air pressure p = 101.325 kPa × (1 − 2.25577×10⁻⁵ × h)^5.256; water boils where its vapor pressure (Antoine equation) equals p.
Example: 2,000 m = 79.4952 kPa.
