The Conversion Formula
To convert bar to pascals, multiply the value by the conversion factor: 1 bar = 100000 Pa. For a worked example, suppose you need to convert 25 bar to pascals: 25 × 100000 = 2500000 Pa. To convert in the opposite direction, divide by 100000, or equivalently multiply by 0.00001.
About bar
The bar is a metric unit, but not an SI unit. It was created to be exactly 100,000 Pascals, which makes it very close to standard atmospheric pressure (1.013 bar). This 1-to-1 approximate relationship makes 'bar' very popular in diving, hydraulics, and tire gauges outside the US. bar are commonly used in Scuba diving, Espresso machines (9 bar!), Tire pressure (Europe), and Industrial hydraulics, Weather reports (mbar).
Car tires are often inflated to 2.2 bar.
About pascals
The pascal (Pa) is the SI unit of pressure, named after French polymath Blaise Pascal. One pascal is one Newton of force per square meter. It is a very small unit—atmospheric pressure is over 100,000 pascals! Because it's so small, meteorologists and engineers often prefer kilopascals (kPa) or hectopascals (hPa). pascals are commonly used in Scientific research, Acoustics (Sound pressure), Ventilation systems (very low pressure), and Clean room standards, Geophysics.
The pressure of a dollar bill on a table is roughly 1 Pascal.
When Would You Convert bar to pascals?
Converting between bar and pascals is one of the most common pressure conversions. You might need this conversion when working with international specifications, following instructions written for a different measurement system, or comparing values across different standards. Having the conversion factor (1 bar = 100000 Pa) memorized or bookmarked can save time in professional and everyday contexts alike.
