How to Convert Bar to Pascal

1 bar = 100000 pascals exact

Pascal = Bar × 100000

Example: 12 bar × 100000 = 1200000 Pa

Reverse Conversion

To convert pascals back to bar:

  • Remember, 1 pascal equals 1 × 10-5 bar.
  • To convert 1200000 Pa to bar, multiply 1200000 x 1 × 10-5, resulting in 12 bar.

exact This conversion factor is exact by international definition.
