How to Convert Pascal to Bar

1 pascal = 1 × 10-5 bar exact

Bar = Pascal × 1 × 10-5

Example: 16987.6 Pa × 1 × 10-5 = 0.16988 bar

Reverse Conversion

To convert bar back to pascals:

  • Remember, 1 bar equals 100000 pascals.
  • To convert 0.16988 bar to Pa, multiply 0.16988 x 100000, resulting in 16988 Pa.

exact This conversion factor is exact by international definition.

16987.6 Pa is also equal to:

  • 16.988 kPa
  • 2.4638 psi
