kPa to bar Converter - Kilopascal to Bar

Kilopascal (kPa) to Bar (bar)

Direct answer

1 kPa = 0.01 bar

bar = kPa × 0.01

Converter

Input

kPa

Result

0.01bar

bar = kPa × 0.01

kPa = bar × 100

Example: 10 kPa = 10 × 0.01 = 0.1 bar.

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

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

1 kPa = 0.01 bar.

10 kPa = 0.1 bar.

100 kPa = 1 bar.

Use bar = kPa × 0.01.

1 bar = 100 kPa.

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