Kilopascals to Bar (kPa to bar)

Convert kilopascals to bar instantly. 1 kilopascal = 0.01 bar, so divide the number of kilopascals by 100. Includes worked examples and a full kPa to bar table.

How to convert kilopascals to bar

1 kilopascal = 0.01 bar and 1 bar = 100 kilopascals. To convert kilopascals to bar, divide by 100:

bar = kPa ÷ 100

Examples

  • 100 kPa ÷ 100 = 1 bar
  • 250 kPa ÷ 100 = 2.5 bar
  • 500 kPa ÷ 100 = 5 bar

What is a kilopascal?

A kilopascal is 1,000 pascals; 100 kPa = 1 bar. It is used for tyre pressures in many countries.

What is a bar?

A bar is 100,000 pascals, close to atmospheric pressure at sea level. It is used for tyres, weather and industrial gauges.
