Quick answer: one bar equals 100 kilopascals. So to convert bars to kilopascals, multiply by 100.
How to convert bars to kilopascals
kilopascals = bars × 100
The bar (100,000 Pa) sits conveniently close to one atmosphere, which made it the favorite of meteorologists and scuba divers.
The kilopascal (1,000 Pa) is the practical metric pressure unit — tire pressures in metric countries are quoted around 220 kPa.

Frequently asked questions
How many kilopascals are in one bar?
One bar equals 100 kilopascals. Multiply any bar value by 100 to get kilopascals.
What is 10 bars in kilopascals?
10 bars equal 1,000 kilopascals (10 × 100).
Is the bar to kilopascal conversion exact?
The conversion factor used here (100) is based on the internationally agreed definitions of both units, so results are exact up to rounding of the final decimal places.
Is my data stored when I use this converter?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser with JavaScript — nothing you type is sent to a server, logged or stored.
