Kilopascal to BarConverter
Instantly convert Kilopascal (kPa) to Bar (bar). Free, accurate, and easy to use.
How to Convert Kilopascal to Bar
To convert Kilopascal (kPa) to Bar (bar), multiply your value by 0.01.
Example: 5 kPa × 0.01 = 0.05 bar
What is a Kilopascal?
The kilopascal equals 1,000 Pascals and is the practical unit for meteorological air pressure readings, tire inflation, and blood pressure in many metric countries. Standard atmospheric pressure is 101.325 kPa. Passenger car tire inflation typically ranges from 220 to 250 kPa (about 32–36 psi). Blood pressure of 120/80 mmHg equals approximately 16.0/10.7 kPa.
What is a Bar?
The bar equals exactly 100,000 Pascals (100 kPa), very close to standard atmospheric pressure (1.01325 bar). It is widely used in meteorology, pneumatics, hydraulics, and as the reference unit on European tire-pressure gauges. The word 'bar' comes from the Greek 'baros,' meaning weight. Deep-sea pressure increases by roughly 1 bar for every 10 meters of seawater depth.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert Kilopascal to Bar?
Multiply the Kilopascal value by 0.01. Formula: bar = kPa × 0.01. Example: 10 kPa = 0.1 bar.
How many Bar are in one Kilopascal?
One Kilopascal (kPa) equals 0.01 Bar (bar).
How many Kilopascal are in one Bar?
One Bar (bar) equals 100 Kilopascal (kPa).
What is the exact conversion factor from Kilopascal to Bar?
The conversion factor is 0.01. Multiply any kPa value by this number to get bar. For the reverse, multiply by 100.
How do I convert Bar back to Kilopascal?
Divide by 0.01, or equivalently multiply by 100. Formula: kPa = bar ÷ 0.01.
Is the Kilopascal-to-Bar conversion internationally standardized?
Yes. Both units are defined by international standards (SI or the international yard/pound agreement), so the conversion factor 0.01 is exact and universally agreed upon.
