Convert Bars to Kilopascals (bar to kPa)
1 bar = 100 kPa. Convert bars to kilopascals with the exact factor, a common-values table and a free converter.
Conversion factor
kPa = bar × 100
1 bar = 100 kPa
Multiply by 100 kPa to go from bars to kilopascals, or divide by it to come back. The factor and every value below are computed by the same converter that runs at /convert, so this page and the tool cannot disagree.
bar to kPa table
| Bars (bar) | Kilopascals (kPa) |
|---|---|
| 1 bar | 100 kPa |
| 2 bar | 200 kPa |
| 5 bar | 500 kPa |
| 10 bar | 1000 kPa |
| 20 bar | 2000 kPa |
| 50 bar | 5000 kPa |
| 100 bar | 10000 kPa |
Every figure is computed at build time by the site’s own converter from the pressure unit registry. For a value that is not listed, put it into the interactive converter.
Frequently asked questions
How many kilopascals are in one bar?
One bar is 100 kPa, so 100 bar is 10000 kPa.
What is the formula to convert bars to kilopascals?
kPa = bar × 100. Multiply the value in bars by 100 to get kilopascals.
How do I convert kilopascals back to bars?
bar = kPa × 0.01, so 1 kPa is 0.01 bar. The kPa to bar page carries the same table in that direction.
