How many bar are in a kilopascal?

1 kPa = 0.01 bar. To convert any amount, multiply by 0.01.

How do you convert kilopascals to bar?

Multiply the number of kilopascals by 0.01 to get bar. The formula is shown in the "How it's calculated" section above.

Where does the conversion factor come from?

It's a published international standard. Most are defined exactly by international agreement (e.g. 1 inch = 25.4 mm exactly, 1 lb = 0.45359237 kg exactly). Source citations are listed under the formula above.

How it's calculated

Convert kilopascals to bar— the formula

Kilopascals convert to bar by multiplying by the published conversion factor. The factor below is exact to the precision shown, sourced from the citation under the formula.

bar = kPa × 0.01

kPa = bar × 100

Pascal: SI derived. 1 bar = 100,000 Pa exactly; 1 psi = 6894.757293168 Pa; 1 atm = 101,325 Pa exactly; 1 mmHg (Torr) = 133.322387415 Pa (NIST SP 811).
