How to Convert Bar to KPa

1 bar = 100 kPa exact

KPa = Bar × 100

Example: 20 bar × 100 = 2000 kPa

Reverse Conversion

To convert kPa back to bar:

  • Remember, 1 kPa equals 0.01 bar.
  • To convert 2000 kPa to bar, multiply 2000 x 0.01, resulting in 20 bar.

exact This conversion factor is exact by international definition.
