Convert Bars to kilopascals
1 bar = 100 kilopascals · kPa = bar × 100
When you need this conversion
This conversion goes from bars, the pressure unit on European gauges and dive equipment, to kilopascals, used on tire placards and in material specifications. Both measure the same physical quantity, so the conversion is exact — the difference is which unit your source, tool, or region happens to use.

The formula
kPa = bar × 100Because both units measure pressure, the conversion is a single multiplication by a fixed factor. That factor never changes, so the result is exact.
