Frequently Asked Questions About Kilopascals (kPa) to Bars

It’s common to have questions about converting from kPa to bars. Below are the answers to some of the most common conversions and questions people ask about kPa to bars.

What does kPa stand for?

The unit of pressure kPa stands for kilopascal. A kilopascal is a pressure of 1,000 newtons per square meter. Pressure equals force per unit area, in this case, newtons per square meter.

In SI base units, a kilopascal is equal to 1,000 kilograms per meter per second squared. It is a multiple of the Pascal (Pa) pressure unit and is equivalent to one newton per square meter (N/m2). Pascals, rather than kilopascals, are the SI unit of pressure. The Pascal unit is named after Blaise Pascal, a French mathematician, physicist, and philosopher.

Kilopascals (kPa) are the standard unit of pressure in countries that use the International System of Units (SI units) in chemistry, engineering, hydraulics, physics, and geophysics. You most frequently encounter kPa in everyday life when taking tire pressure, checking water pressure, measuring air pressure, and inspecting pressure tanks.

What is a bar?

The bar is a metric unit of pressure defined as equal to precisely 100 kilopascals (kPa), 100,000 Pascals (Pa), or 100,000 newtons per meter squared (N/m2). It is roughly equivalent to the atmospheric pressure on Earth at an altitude of 111 meters and a temperature of five degrees Celsius. Bars are frequently used in atmospheric pressure measurements, meteorology, oceanography, scuba diving, engineering, the petrochemical industry, and tire pressures.

How do you convert kPa to bar?

To convert kilopascals (kPa) to bar divide the kPa value by 100, which is the number of kilopascals in one bar. 

How many kPa makes a bar?

There are 100 kilopascals (kPa) in a bar.

Is kPa the abbreviation for kilopascals?

Yes, kPa is the abbreviation for kilopascals, which is a unit of pressure. The prefix ‘kilo,’ abbreviated as ‘k’ in ‘kPa,’ represents a factor of 10³.

How many bars are in a kilobar?

There are 1000 bars in a kilobar.

How do you convert bar to kilobar?

You have two conversion options to convert bar to kilobar. The first option is to divide the bar value by 1000, which is the number of bars in one kilobar. The second option is to multiply the number of bars by 0.001. Both approaches will give you the correct kilobar value.

How many millibars (mbar) are in a bar?

There are 1,000 millibars in one bar. The correct abbreviation for millibar is mbar, although you occasionally see the outdated ‘mb’ abbreviation used.

What are high and low barometric pressures?

The normal pressure barometric range is between 98 kPa and 105 kPa. In terms of bar, the normal pressure range is 0.98 bar to 1.05 bar.

Normal sea-level pressure is 101.32075 kPa, which is equal to 1.0132075 bar.

Is 101.3 kPa a standard pressure?

Standard pressure equals 101.3 kPa, which is equivalent to 1 standard atmosphere (atm), 760 mmHg, 760 torr (Torr), or 1.013 bar. The kilopascal is the preferred unit of measurement for standard pressure.

How many bars of pressure can a human survive?

Humans can generally function at pressures up to 2.5 bar, which is 2.5 times the atmospheric pressure. At pressures above this, a person, such as a scuba diver, would need to substitute oxygen for other gases to avoid oxygen toxicity.

What are the different units of pressure?

Common pressure units include Megapascals (MPa), kilopascals (kPa), Pascals (Pa), standard atmospheres (atm), torr (Torr), pounds per square inch (psi), pounds per square foot (psf), bar, millibar (mbar), millimeters of mercury (mmHg), inches of mercury (inHg), dyne (dyn), kilopond per square centimeter (kp/cm2), kilogram-force per square millimeter (kgf/mm2), kilonewton per square meter (kN/m2), newton per square meter (N/m2),
