Standard Atmosphere (atm)
The standard atmosphere (atm) is defined as exactly 101,325 pascals — average sea-level atmospheric pressure.
Atmospheres compare scuba tank fills, describe laboratory reference pressure, and normalize gas volumes.

Exact conversion factors in both directions, plus a worked example.
1 atm = 1.01325 bar
1 bar = 0.9869232667 atm
To convert standard atmosphere to bar, multiply by 1.01325.
To convert bar to standard atmosphere, multiply by 0.9869232667.
Example: convert 10 atm to bar
10 × 1.01325 = 10.1325 bar
Short background on the units used in this conversion.
The standard atmosphere (atm) is defined as exactly 101,325 pascals — average sea-level atmospheric pressure.
Atmospheres compare scuba tank fills, describe laboratory reference pressure, and normalize gas volumes.
The bar is a metric pressure unit equal to exactly 100,000 pascals, slightly below one standard atmosphere.
Bars are common in European tire pressure gauges, scuba diving, and industrial compressed-air systems.
bar = atm × 1.01325atm = bar × 0.9869232667, using the same exact factors as this converter.Jump to any pressure conversion starting from standard atmosphere — including the reverse direction and every other unit in our dataset.
