Bar
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.

Exact conversion factors in both directions, plus a worked example.
1 bar = 100000 Pa
1 Pa = 0.00001 bar
To convert bar to pascal, multiply by 100000.
To convert pascal to bar, multiply by 0.00001.
Example: convert 10 bar to Pa
10 × 100000 = 1000000 Pa
Short background on the units used in this conversion.
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.
The pascal is the SI unit of pressure — one newton of force applied uniformly over one square meter.
Pascals and kilopascals appear in weather maps, engineering specs, and scientific pressure measurements worldwide.
Pa = bar × 100,000bar = Pa × 0.00001, using the same exact factors as this converter.Jump to any pressure conversion starting from bar — including the reverse direction and every other unit in our dataset.
