Unit Definitions
Bar (bar)
Metric-adjacent pressure unit.
1 bar = 100 kPa = 14.5038 psi ≈ 750.062 Torr ≈ 1,000 mbar.
Kilopascal (kPa)
Metric pressure unit (1,000 Pa).
kPa to bar divide by 100; kPa to psi divide by 6.89476; kPa to mbar multiply by 10.
Common Use Cases
- Hydraulic and pneumatic specs.
- Scuba pressure in kPa.
- Pump curves and datasheets.
- Engineering homework.
Understanding the Conversion
1 bar = 100 kPa. Multiply bar by 100.
Examples: 1 bar = 100 kPa · 2.5 bar = 250 kPa · 1.013 bar ≈ 101.3 kPa.
Standard when bar-rated gear meets SI kPa documentation.
Hydraulic and pneumatic specs. The table and FAQ on this page walk through the factor if you need it.
