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 bars are in a kilopascal?
1 kilopascal (kPa) equals 0.01 bar (bar).
How do I convert kilopascals to bars?
Multiply the kilopascal value by 0.01 to get bar — for example, 2 kilopascals = 0.02 bar.
How do I convert bars back to kilopascals?
