How to convert bar to kilopascals
To convert bar (bar) to kilopascals (kPa), multiply the value in bar by 100.
kPa = bar × 100
Example: 5 bar = 500 kPa.
You can also type 5 bar to kPa into the smart calculator, or mix units: 1 bar + 1 kPa.

About the units
Bar (bar)
Exactly 100,000 pascals, close to atmospheric pressure at sea level.
Kilopascal (kPa)
One thousand pascals.
Pressure is force per unit area. The SI unit is the pascal, one newton per square meter. Tire pressures are given in psi or bar, weather in hectopascals or millibars, and blood pressure in millimeters of mercury.
Questions and answers
