bar to kPa Converter - Bar to Kilopascal

Bar (bar) to Kilopascal (kPa)

Direct answer

1 bar = 100 kPa

kPa = bar × 100

Converter

Input

bar

Result

100kPa

kPa = bar × 100

bar = kPa × 0.01

Example: 10 bar = 10 × 100 = 1,000 kPa.

Express both bar and kPa in the same base unit Pa (pascal), then cancel the shared base unit.

1
Rewrite bar in the base unit
$1 bar = 100, 000 Pa$
2
Rewrite kPa in the base unit
$1 kPa = 1, 000 Pa$
3
Forward conversion
$1 bar = \frac{100 , 000 Pa}{1 , 000 Pa} \times 1 kPa = \frac{100 , 000}{1 , 000} kPa = 100 kPa$
4
Reverse conversion
$1 kPa = \frac{1 , 000 Pa}{100 , 000 Pa} \times 1 bar = \frac{1 , 000}{100 , 000} bar = 0.01 bar$

1 bar = 100 kPa.

10 bar = 1,000 kPa.

100 bar = 10,000 kPa.

Use kPa = bar × 100.

1 kPa = 0.01 bar.

Use the conversion factor and round the result to the precision required by your calculation.
