Kilopascals to bar
Type a value in kPa to get it in bar instantly.
Nothing on our list is smaller: a vacuum cleaner is 2× higher. Spread over a fingertip, that is like resting 0.102 kg on it.
Convert the other way: bar to kPa
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 kPa to bar
To convert kilopascals to bar, multiply by 0.01.
Example: 10 kPa × 0.01 = 0.1 bar.
In the other direction, 1 bar = 100 kPa.

About these units
Kilopascals (kPa)
A kilopascal is 1,000 pascals. Car tyres run at roughly 220 kPa, and standard air pressure is 101.3 kPa.
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.
