Kilopascal to Bar Converter (kPa to bar)

1 kilopascal = 0.01 bar. A bar is exactly 100 kPa.

Value

Result

300 kPa = 3 bar

How to convert kilopascal to bar

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

Formula

bar = kPa × 0.01

Worked example

300 kPa × 0.01 = 3 bar

300 kPa is 3 bar, and a 101.325 kPa sea-level atmosphere is 1.01325 bar.

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 kilopascal = 0.01 bar (kPa to bar).

bar = kPa × 0.01. For example, 300 kPa × 0.01 = 3 bar.

Use the reverse converter: 1 bar = 100 kilopascal. Check: 3 bar converts back to 300 kPa.
