Convert Pascals to Bar

1 Pa = 0.00001 bar

1 Pa = 0.00001 bar

pascals (Pa) bar (bar)
0.5 0.000005
1 0.00001
2 0.00002
5 0.00005
10 0.0001
25 0.00025
50 0.0005
100 0.001
250 0.0025
500 0.005
1000 0.01

To convert pascals to bar, multiply the value by the conversion factor:

1 Pa = 0.00001 bar

For example: 10 Pa = 0.0001 bar

The Conversion Formula

To convert pascals to bar, multiply the value by the conversion factor: 1 Pa = 0.00001 bar. For a worked example, suppose you need to convert 25 Pa to bar: 25 × 0.00001 = 0.00025 bar. To convert in the opposite direction, divide by 0.00001, or equivalently multiply by 100000.

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.

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.

When Would You Convert pascals to bar?

Converting between pascals and bar 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 Pa = 0.00001 bar) memorized or bookmarked can save time in professional and everyday contexts alike.
