Converting from Bar (bar) to Kilopascal (kPa)

What is Bar (bar)

Bar (bar) is a unit of pressure that is commonly used in the metric system. It is equal to 100 kilopascals (kPa) and is used to measure atmospheric pressure, as well as pressure in hydraulic systems and other industrial applications.

What is Kilopascal (kPa)

Kilopascal (kPa) is also a unit of pressure in the metric system. It is equivalent to 0.01 bar and is often used in scientific and engineering calculations where pressure needs to be accurately measured.

Conversion Formulas

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

Pressure in kPa=Pressure in bar×100

And to convert from kilopascal to bar, you can use the formula:

Pressure in bar=Pressure in kPa×0.01

Examples

1. Converting 2 bar to kilopascal:

2bar×100=200kPa

2. Converting 8 kPa to bar:

8kPa×0.01=0.08bar

3. Converting 11 bar to kilopascal:

11bar×100=1100kPa

4. Converting 5.5 kPa to bar:

5.5kPa×0.01=0.055bar
