Bars to Kilopascals (bar to kPa) Converter
1 bar (bar) = 100 kilopascals (kPa). To convert bars to kilopascals, multiply by 100: 2.2 bar × 100 = 220 kPa.
Quick facts
- 1 bar = 100 kPa
- 1 kPa = 0.01 bar
- Formula: kPa = bar × 100
- Quick estimate: multiply by about 100
How to convert bars to kilopascals
- Take the value in bars.
- Multiply it by 100 (the number of kilopascals in one bar).
- Round the result to the precision you need.
Worked example (car tyre pressure): 2.2 bar × 100 = 220 kPa.
To convert kilopascals back to bars, multiply by 0.01, or divide by 100.

| Symbol | bar | kPa |
| Equals | 1 bar = 100 kPa | 1 kPa = 0.01 bar |
What is a bar?
Approximately equal to atmospheric pressure at sea level. Used in meteorology and for tire and hydraulic pressure.
What is a kilopascal?
Equal to 1,000 pascals. Used for tire pressure and weather pressure outside the US.
Frequently asked questions
How many kilopascals are in a bar?
There are 100 kilopascals in 1 bar (1 bar = 100 kPa).
How many bars are in a kilopascal?
There are 0.01 bars in 1 kilopascal (1 kPa = 0.01 bar).
How do I convert bars to kilopascals?
Multiply the number of bars by 100. For example, 10 bar × 100 = 1,000 kPa. To convert back, multiply by 0.01.
What is 10 bar in kilopascals?
10 bar = 1,000 kPa.
What is 100 bar in kilopascals?
100 bar = 10,000 kPa.
Is the conversion exact?
Yes. The factor comes from the official definitions of both units (NIST SP 811 (2008), Appendix B). Results are shown to up to 10 decimal places; round them to suit your purpose.
