Kilopascal (kPa)
A kilopascal is one thousand pascals — a practical SI scale for everyday and engineering pressures.
Kilopascals label tire pressure in many countries, HVAC ductwork, and meteorological pressure charts.

How to convert
Exact conversion factors in both directions, plus a worked example.
1 kPa = 0.01 bar
1 bar = 100 kPa
To convert kilopascal to bar, multiply by 0.01.
To convert bar to kilopascal, multiply by 100.
Example: convert 10 kPa to bar
10 × 0.01 = 0.1 bar
About these units
Short background on the units used in this conversion.
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.
Frequently asked questions
How many bars are in one kilopascal?
One kilopascal equals 0.01 bars. Multiply your kilopascals value by 0.01 to convert to bars.
What is the conversion formula?
bar = kPa × 0.01The reverse is
kPa = bar × 100, using the same exact factors as this converter.Is this Kilopascal to Bar converter private?
