Converting from Bar to Kilonewton per Square Meter

What is Bar (bar)

Bar (bar) is a unit of pressure commonly used in the metric system. It is equal to 100 kilopascals (kPa) or 100,000 pascals (Pa). It is often used in applications such as measuring atmospheric pressure.

What is Kilonewton per Square Meter (kN/m²)

Kilonewton per Square Meter (kN/m²) is a unit of pressure in the International System of Units (SI). It is equivalent to one kilonewton (kN) of force applied over a one square meter area. This unit is commonly used in engineering and construction to measure stress and pressure.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion between Bar (bar) and Kilonewton per Square Meter (kN/m²) is straightforward:

1. To convert from Bar to kN/m², multiply the pressure in Bar by 100: Pressure in kN/m²=Pressure in Bar×100
2. To convert from kN/m² to Bar, divide the pressure in kN/m² by 100: Pressure in Bar=100Pressure in kN/m²​

Examples

1. Converting 3 Bar to kN/m²: 3 Bar=3×100=300 kN/m²
2. Converting 500 kN/m² to Bar: 500 kN/m²=100500​=5 Bar

By using the conversion formulas provided, you can easily convert between Bar and Kilonewton per Square Meter.
