How to convert Bar to Kilopascals
To convert bar to kilopascals, multiply by 100. One bar equals 100 kPa, and one kilopascal equals 0.01 bar.
- Take the value in bar — for example 7.5 bar.
- Multiply by 100 (the number of kilopascals in one bar).
- 7.5 × 100 = 750 kPa.
Shortcut: the factor is a power of ten, so just move the decimal point 2 places to the right.

About converting Bar to Kilopascals
Bar (bar) and Kilopascals (kPa) are both units of pressure. The exact factor is 1 bar = 100 kPa, so multiply by 100 to go from bar to kilopascals (or divide to go back).

Real-world pressure in bar and kilopascals
| Example | Bar | Kilopascals |
|---|---|---|
| A systolic blood pressure of 120 mmHg | 0.159987 bar | 15.9987 kPa |
| A pressure cooker's over-pressure (15 psi) | 1.034214 bar | 103.4214 kPa |
| The standard atmosphere | 1.01325 bar | 101.325 kPa |
| A typical car tyre (32 psi) | 2.206322 bar | 220.6322 kPa |
| An espresso machine (9 bar) | 9 bar | 900 kPa |
| A road-bike tyre (90 psi) | 6.205282 bar | 620.5282 kPa |
| A scuba cylinder (200 bar) | 200 bar | 20,000 kPa |
“≈” marks typical values; the rest are defined or measured figures.
The units
Exactly 100,000 Pa — very close to atmospheric pressure at sea level.
Used for: Tyre pressure in Europe and India, scuba, espresso machines.
1,000 pascals.
Used for: Tyre pressure in Canada/Australia, weather and engineering.
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.
