Key Formulas
Pound per Sq. Inch → Bar
bar = psi × 0.0689476Bar → Pound per Sq. Inch
psi = bar × 14.5038Atmosphere → Pound per Sq. Inch
psi = atm × 14.6959Pound per Sq. Inch → Atmosphere
atm = psi × 0.068046Formula
kPa = bar × 100One bar equals 100,000 pascals, which equals 100 kilopascals. This simple conversion (multiply by 100) makes bar-to-kPa straightforward. This appears frequently in engineering specifications and pressure gauge readings.
