How to Convert Kilopascals to Bars
To convert kilopascals to bars, divide the value by 100.
The Formula
Bars = Kilopascals ÷ 100
Key Fact
1 bar = 100 kilopascals
Tip: To convert bars back to kilopascals, multiply by 100.
kPa to Bar
Convert kilopascals (kPa) to bars (bar) with formulas, examples, and conversion tables.
kPa
bar
1 kPa = 0.01 bar
Full precision:0.01 bar
Step-by-Step Solution
To convert 1 kilopascals to bars, we divide by 100 because one bar equals exactly 100 kilopascals.
1 bar = 100 kilopascals
Since there are 100 kilopascals in every bar, we divide our value by this factor:
1 ÷ 100 = 0.01 bars
So 1 kilopascals = 0.01 bars.
Quick check: 0.01 × 100 = 1 kilopascals
Example Conversions
Example 1: 1 kPa = 0.01 bar
1 ÷ 100 = 0.01
1 ÷ 100 = 0.01
Example 2: 5 kPa = 0.05 bar
5 ÷ 100 = 0.05
5 ÷ 100 = 0.05
Example 3: 10 kPa = 0.1 bar
10 ÷ 100 = 0.1
10 ÷ 100 = 0.1
