Convert Kilopascals to Bars (kPa to bar)
1 kPa = 0.01 bar. Convert kilopascals to bars with the exact factor, a common-values table and a free converter.
Conversion factor
bar = kPa × 0.01
1 kPa = 0.01 bar
Multiply by 0.01 bar to go from kilopascals to bars, 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.
kPa to bar table
| Kilopascals (kPa) | Bars (bar) |
|---|---|
| 1 kPa | 0.01 bar |
| 2 kPa | 0.02 bar |
| 5 kPa | 0.05 bar |
| 10 kPa | 0.1 bar |
| 20 kPa | 0.2 bar |
| 50 kPa | 0.5 bar |
| 100 kPa | 1 bar |
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 bars are in one kilopascal?
One kilopascal is 0.01 bar, so 100 kPa is 1 bar.
What is the formula to convert kilopascals to bars?
bar = kPa × 0.01. Multiply the value in kilopascals by 0.01 to get bars.
How do I convert bars back to kilopascals?
kPa = bar × 100, so 1 bar is 100 kPa. The bar to kPa page carries the same table in that direction.
