Convert pascals to bar

Converting pascals to bar is a common pressure task, whether you are checking a recipe, a spec sheet, a travel distance or a homework problem. Since 1 Pa equals 0.00001 bar, the math is a single multiplication — and this page does it for you instantly, with the formula, a table of common values and answers to the questions people ask most.

How to convert pascals to bar

To convert pascals to bar, multiply the number of pascals by 0.00001. For example, 10 Pa × 0.00001 = 0.0001 bar.

bar = Pa × 0.00001

  1. Write down the value in pascals you want to convert.
  2. Multiply it by 0.00001 (the exact Pa→bar factor).
  3. The result is your value in bar. Check it below with the converter or the table.

About these units

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.

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.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert pascals to bar?

To convert pascals to bar, multiply the number of pascals by 0.00001. For example, 10 Pa × 0.00001 = 0.0001 bar. Or skip the math: type the value into the converter at the top of this page and the result updates instantly.

How many bar are in 1 pascal?

1 Pa = 0.00001 bar. That is the fixed relationship used by this converter and by international standards.

How many pascals are in 1 bar?

1 bar = 100,000 Pa. If you are converting in the opposite direction, use our Bar to Pascal converter for the dedicated table and FAQ.

Is the pascals to bar conversion exact?
