Bar and Kilopascals
One bar equals exactly 100 kilopascals (kPa). The pascal is the SI unit of pressure. Kilopascals are commonly used in meteorology, engineering specifications, and scientific research. Weather reports in some countries give atmospheric pressure in kPa (standard atmosphere ≈ 101.325 kPa).
How to convert Bar to Kilopascals
To convert bar to kilopascals, multiply the number of bar by the conversion factor. The exact factor is 100.
Formula
Kilopascals = Bar × 100
Worked example
Convert 10 Bar to kPa: 10 Bar = 1,000 kPa.
