Kilopascals to Bars (kPa to bar) Converter
1 kilopascal (kPa) = 0.01 bars (bar). To convert kilopascals to bars, multiply by 0.01: 25 kPa × 0.01 = 0.25 bar.
Quick facts
- 1 kPa = 0.01 bar
- 1 bar = 100 kPa
- Formula: bar = kPa × 0.01
- Quick estimate: multiply by about 0.01
How to convert kilopascals to bars
- Take the value in kilopascals.
- Multiply it by 0.01 (the number of bars in one kilopascal).
- Round the result to the precision you need.
Worked example: 25 kPa × 0.01 = 0.25 bar.
To convert bars back to kilopascals, multiply by 100, or divide by 0.01.

What is a kilopascal?
Equal to 1,000 pascals. Used for tire pressure and weather pressure outside the US.
What is a bar?
Approximately equal to atmospheric pressure at sea level. Used in meteorology and for tire and hydraulic pressure.
Frequently asked questions
How many bars are in a kilopascal?
There are 0.01 bars in 1 kilopascal (1 kPa = 0.01 bar).
How many kilopascals are in a bar?
There are 100 kilopascals in 1 bar (1 bar = 100 kPa).
How do I convert kilopascals to bars?
Multiply the number of kilopascals by 0.01. For example, 10 kPa × 0.01 = 0.1 bar. To convert back, multiply by 100.
What is 10 kPa in bars?
10 kPa = 0.1 bar.
What is 100 kPa in bars?
100 kPa = 1 bar.
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.
