Converting from Bar to Atmosphere in Pressure

What is Bar (bar)

The bar (symbol: bar) is a unit of pressure defined as 100,000 pascals, which is equivalent to one million dynes per square centimeter (dyne/cm²). It is commonly used in various applications such as weather reports and tire pressure measurements.

What is Atmosphere (atm)

The atmosphere (symbol: atm) is a unit of pressure based on the average atmospheric pressure at sea level. It is defined as 101,325 pascals, which is equivalent to the pressure exerted by a column of mercury 760 mm high at 0°C.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from bar to atmosphere, you can use the following formula:

Pressure in atmospheres=Pressure in bars×0.9869233

To convert from atmosphere to bar, you can use the following formula:

Pressure in bars=Pressure in atmospheres×1.01325

Examples

1. Converting 5 bar to atmosphere:

5 bar×0.9869233=4.934616 atm

2. Converting 16 atmosphere to bar:

16 atm×1.01325=16.212 bar

3. Converting 11 bar to atmosphere:

11 bar×0.9869233=10.85616 atm
