Kilopascals to Bars Converter
1 kilopascal = 0.01 bars
1 kilopascal equals 0.01 bars
How to convert kilopascals to bars
Unit conversion preserves the pressure reference. Gauge pressure and absolute pressure are different readings; changing between them also needs the ambient pressure. Mercury and water-column units use the conventions stated in their unit notes.
bar = kPa × 0.01One kilopascal is 0.01 bars, so a single multiplication converts any value.
0.1 bar = 10 × 0.01Kilopascals to bars conversion table

Sources and precision
Table results are rounded to 8 significant digits; formula constants may be rounded to 10. Worked example answers use 6 significant digits. The converter starts at 6 significant digits and lets you change display precision. Calculations use the stored factors without intermediate rounding. Exact unit definitions do not make an input measurement more precise; conventional and measured factors follow the assumptions stated here.
