How to convert kilopascals to bar
Multiply the number of kilopascals by 0.01 to get bar: bar = kPa × 0.01.
Example: 5 kPa = 0.05 bar.
The kilopascal (kPa) and the bar (bar) are both units of pressure. Need the opposite direction? Use the bar to kPa converter.

Metric and imperial units
The metric system (SI) is used by almost every country and by science worldwide. Its units scale by powers of ten – 1 kilometer is 1,000 meters, 1 meter is 100 centimeters – which makes conversions inside the system easy. The imperial and US customary systems (inches, feet, pounds, gallons) are still used daily in the United States and partly in the UK.
Since 1959 the inch has been defined as exactly 2.54 centimeters and the pound as exactly 0.45359237 kilograms, so conversions between the two systems are exact. Note that a US gallon (3.785 L) and an imperial gallon (4.546 L) are different – choose the right one above.
This converter covers 10 categories and 66 units: length, weight, temperature, volume, area, speed, time, data, energy, pressure.
Frequently asked questions
How many bar are in a kilopascal?
1 kilopascal = 0.01 bar.
How do I convert kilopascals to bar?
Use the formula bar = kPa × 0.01. For example, 5 kPa = 0.05 bar.
How do I convert bar back to kilopascals?
1 bar = 100 kilopascals. Use the bar to kPa converter linked on this page.
Are these conversions exact?
Yes – all factors use the internationally defined values (for example 1 inch = 2.54 cm exactly, 1 pound = 0.45359237 kg exactly). Results are rounded to 8 significant digits for display.
