Conversion Definitions
The following is a list of definitions relating to conversions between bars and kilopascals.
What is a bar (bar)?
A bar is a non-SI unit of Pressure. The symbol for bar is bar. There are 0.01 bars in a kilopascal.
What is a kilopascal (kPa)?
A kilopascal is a unit of Pressure in the International System of Units (SI). The symbol for kilopascal is kPa. There are 100 kilopascals in a bar.
Conversion Formula
Let's take a closer look at the conversion formula so that you can do these conversions yourself with a calculator or with an old-fashioned pencil and paper.
The formula to convert from bar to kPa is:
kPa = bar x 100
Conversion Example
