About these units
Bar (bar). A bar equals exactly 100,000 pascals, close to average atmospheric pressure at sea level. It is the standard unit for tire pressure, dive tanks and espresso machines in metric countries.
Pascal (Pa). The pascal is the SI unit of pressure, one newton per square meter. Because it is small, practical values are often quoted in kilopascals, bar or atmospheres.
