Bar to atmospheres
Type a value in bar to get it in atm instantly.
That's 1.11× as much pressure as an espresso machine, while a fire hose is 1.2× higher. Spread over a fingertip, that is like resting 10.2 kg on it.
Convert the other way: atm to bar
What it means
How much pressure is that?
Tyre and tank figures are gauge pressure, measured above the surrounding air. Weather and altitude figures are absolute.
The math
How to convert bar to atm
To convert bar to atmospheres, multiply by 0.986923.
Example: 10 bar × 0.986923 = 9.86923 atm.
In the other direction, 1 atm = 1.01325 bar.

The units
About these units
Bar (bar)
One bar is 100,000 pascals, chosen because it is almost exactly the air pressure at sea level. Divers, mechanics and brewers all work in bar.
Atmospheres (atm)
One standard atmosphere is defined as exactly 101,325 pascals: the average air pressure at sea level. Diving depth adds about one atmosphere every 10 meters.
