How to convert kilopascals to bar

1 kilopascals (kPa) is equal to 0.01 bar (bar). Conversely, 1 bar (bar) is equal to 100 kilopascals (kPa).

See below section for step by step unit conversion with formulas and explanations. Please refer to the table below for a list of all the bar to other unit conversions.

Step by step guide to convert kilopascals to bar

Convert base units

1 Pa=105 bar1\ Pa = 10^{-5}\ bar

Substitute to calculate bars to kPa

1 kPa=103105 bar=102 bar1\ kPa = 10^{3} * 10^{-5}\ bar = 10^{-2}\ bar

What is a Kilopascal?

The kilopascal (kPa) is a 1000 pascals (Pa). The pascal is a SI unit that measures pressure. Pascal unit is named after Blaise Pascal and it replaced the previously used units for pressure N/m2N/m^2 in SI unit system. Following are equal representation of 1 Kilopascal in other units.

1 kPa=1000 Nm2=1000 kgms2=1000 Jm31\ kPa = 1000\ \frac{N}{m^2} = 1000\ \frac{kg}{m*s^2} = 1000\ \frac{J}{m^3}

What is a bar?

The bar is a metric unit that measure the pressure. Equivalent unit Pascal (Pa) used in SI units to measure pressure. 1 bar is same as 100 kilopascals or 1 hectopascal (hPa).
