1 Bar = 100 Kilopascal

Key Formulas

Pound per Sq. Inch → Bar

bar = psi × 0.0689476

Bar → Pound per Sq. Inch

psi = bar × 14.5038

Atmosphere → Pound per Sq. Inch

psi = atm × 14.6959

Pound per Sq. Inch → Atmosphere

atm = psi × 0.068046

Formula

kPa = bar × 100

One 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.
