Convert kilopascals to bars
1 kPa = 0.01 bar — exactly. Both units are defined against the SI, so this factor is a fraction, not an approximation.
0.01bar
As a fraction: 1/100
1 kPa = 0.01 bar
How to convert kilopascals to bars
Multiply the number of kilopascals by 0.01 to get bars.
The exact factor is 0.01 — as a fraction, 1/100.
Bar: Exactly 100 kPa. Close to atmospheric pressure, which is why it caught on.
