14.5 psi = 1 bar = kPa = 101.35

14.5 psi = 1 bar = kPa = 101.35
So, at one bar (and one hkpa), you are roughly pulling in about ~14.5 PSI.
Do these numbers sound right? What are the max/min values of your gauge? If the numbers go from -2hkpa to 2 or 3hkpa, then what I describe is most likely the case.
