How to Convert Pascals to Bar

To convert pascals to bar, divide by 100,000 (or multiply by 0.00001). The pascal is the SI unit of pressure equal to one newton per square meter, while the bar is a metric unit commonly used in industry and meteorology.

Conversion Formula

  • Pascals to Bar: bar = Pa × 0.00001
  • Bar to Pascals: Pa = bar ÷ 0.00001

FAQ

How many pascals are in one bar?

One bar equals exactly 100,000 pascals (100 kPa). The bar was introduced to approximate atmospheric pressure without using the awkward SI-derived unit.

Is bar an SI unit?

No. The bar is accepted for use with the SI system but is not an official SI unit. The pascal (Pa) is the SI unit of pressure, defined as one newton per square meter.

Why is pressure measured in bar for tire gauges?

Bar is convenient for everyday pressure ranges. Standard atmospheric pressure is about 1.013 bar, and typical car tire pressures fall between 2 and 3.5 bar, making bar easy to read and communicate.

What is the difference between bar and millibar?

One bar equals 1,000 millibar (mbar). Millibar is commonly used in meteorology, where standard atmospheric pressure is about 1013.25 mbar.
