How to Convert Bars to Kilopascals
To convert a measurement in bars to a measurement in kilopascals, multiply the pressure by the following conversion ratio: 100 kilopascals/bar.
Since one bar is equal to 100 kilopascals, you can use this simple formula to convert:
kilopascals = bars × 100
The pressure in kilopascals is equal to the pressure in bars multiplied by 100.
For example, here's how to convert 5 bars to kilopascals using the formula above.
kilopascals = (5 bar × 100) = 500 kPa
Bars and kilopascals are both units used to measure pressure. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
What Is a Bar?
The bar is equal to 100,000 pascals, which are defined as the pressure of one newton per square meter. One bar is just less than the average atmospheric pressure.
The bar is a non-SI metric unit for pressure. Bars can be abbreviated as bar; for example, 1 bar can be written as 1 bar.

What Is a Kilopascal?
The kilopascal is a multiple of the pascal, which is the SI derived unit for pressure. In the metric system, "kilo" is the prefix for thousands, or 103. Kilopascals can be abbreviated as kPa; for example, 1 kilopascal can be written as 1 kPa.
