Formula

How to convert Atmospheres to Bar

To convert atmospheres to bar, multiply by 1.01325. One atmosphere equals 1.01325 bar, and one bar equals 0.986923 atm.

  1. Take the value in atmospheres — for example 7.5 atm.
  2. Multiply by 1.01325 (the number of bar in one atmosphere).
  3. 7.5 × 1.01325 = 7.599375 bar.

Quick mental estimate: Multiply the number of atmospheres by 1 (within 1.3% of the exact answer).

About converting Atmospheres to Bar

Atmospheres (atm) and Bar (bar) are both units of pressure. The exact factor is 1 atm = 1.01325 bar, so multiply by 1.01325 to go from atmospheres to bar (or divide to go back).

The conversion runs entirely in your browser. Need the reverse? Use the Bar to Atmospheres converter, or the full unit converter for every unit at once.

The units

Atmospheres (atm)

The standard atmosphere: exactly 101,325 Pa, average sea-level air pressure.

Used for: Chemistry, diving and physics.

Bar (bar)

Exactly 100,000 Pa — very close to atmospheric pressure at sea level.

Used for: Tyre pressure in Europe and India, scuba, espresso machines.

The bar (100,000 Pa) and the standard atmosphere (101,325 Pa) are exact; psi is derived from the pound-force and the inch, so its factor is a rounded value of an exact fraction.

Frequently asked questions

5 answers
How many bar are in one atmosphere?
One atmosphere equals 1.01325 bar.
How do I convert atmospheres to bar?
Multiply the number of atmospheres by 1.01325. For example, 10 atmospheres = 10.1325 bar.
What is 5 atmospheres in bar?
5 atmospheres is 5.06625 bar.
Is a atmosphere bigger than a bar?
Yes. One atmosphere equals 1.01325 bar, so it is 1.01325 times larger.
