About Bar and Kilopascals

One bar equals exactly 100 kilopascals. Both are metric pressure units, making this one of the simplest pressure conversions. Weather forecasts use hectopascals (hPa) and millibars (mbar) — standard atmospheric pressure of 1013.25 mbar equals 101.325 kPa equals 1.01325 bar. Industrial pressure gauges in Europe may show either bar or kPa, and understanding the direct relationship (1 bar = 100 kPa) simplifies switching between equipment using different scales.
