How to convert bar to kilopascal

A bar is exactly 100 kPa. Weather maps, gas cylinders and European tyre gauges use bar, while engineering and SI texts use kPa.

Formula

kPa = bar × 100

Worked example

2.5 bar × 100 = 250 kPa

A 2.5 bar tyre is 250 kPa, and a 6 bar water line is 600 kPa.

One bar is exactly 100 kilopascals.

It is not an SI unit, but it is accepted for use with SI and widely used in meteorology and industry.

1 bar = 100 kilopascal (bar to kPa).

kPa = bar × 100. For example, 2.5 bar × 100 = 250 kPa.

Use the reverse converter: 1 kilopascal = 0.01 bar. Check: 250 kPa converts back to 2.5 bar.
