Specific gravity to bar per meter
Type a value in SG to get it in bar/m instantly.
0.9807bar/m
That's 4.6× as heavy as a heavy weighted mud — nothing on our list beats it. At 1,000 m depth that column would exert about 980.7 bar.
What it means
How heavy is that mud?
Gradients are for a vertical well. In a deviated hole the pressure depends on true vertical depth, not on how much pipe is in the ground.
The math
How to convert SG to bar/m
To convert specific gravity to bar per meter, multiply by 0.0980665.
Example: 10 SG × 0.0980665 = 0.980665 bar/m.
In the other direction, 1 bar/m = 10.1972 SG.
