Kilopascals to Bar Converter
How to convert kilopascals to bar
bar = kilopascals ÷ 100
To convert kilopascals to bar, divide the number of kilopascals by 100.
1 kPa = 0.01 bar
Examples
- Standard sea-level atmospheric pressure: 101.325 kPa ÷ 100 = 1.01325 bar
- 220 kPa ÷ 100 = 2.2 bar
Good to know
One bar is exactly 100 kPa, so the conversion is a shift of two decimal places.

Unit definitions
- Kilopascal (kPa)
- A kilopascal is 1000 pascals. It is the common SI unit for tire pressures, weather reports and engineering in metric countries.
- 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.
