Common pitfalls and look-alike units
One standard atmosphere is exactly 101325 Pa while 1 bar is 100000 Pa — about 1.3% apart, so do not mix them. Tire pressures are often quoted in psi or bar (1 bar ≈ 14.5 psi, 1 psi ≈ 6.895 kPa); millimeter of mercury uses the conventional value 1 mmHg = 133.322387415 Pa.
Frequently asked questions
How many kilopascals are in a bar?
1 bar (bar) equals 100 kilopascal (kPa).
How do I convert bars to kilopascals?
Multiply the bar value by 100 to get kilopascal — for example, 2 bars = 200 kilopascal.
How do I convert kilopascals back to bars?
1 kilopascal equals 0.01 bar. Use the swap button or the reverse conversion page linked on this page.
