Bar to Kilopascals Converter
How to convert bar to kilopascals
kilopascals = bar × 100
To convert bar to kilopascals, multiply the number of bar by 100.
1 bar = 100 kPa
Examples
- A typical car tire pressure: 2.2 bar × 100 = 220 kPa
- 1 bar × 100 = 100 kPa
Good to know
One bar is exactly 100 kPa, so the conversion is a shift of two decimal places.

Unit definitions
- Bar
- A bar is exactly 100,000 pascals, slightly less than average atmospheric pressure at sea level. It is widely used in Europe for tire pressures, weather and industrial equipment.
- Kilopascal (kPa)
- A kilopascal is 1000 pascals. It is the common SI unit for tire pressures, weather reports and engineering in metric countries.
