For example: 22 bar = 22 × 100.0 = 2200.0 kilopascal
Unit History
About bar
The bar was introduced in the early 20th century for meteorology as a convenient approximation of atmospheric pressure. Although not an SI unit, it remains common in industry.
About kilopascal
The kilopascal offers a practical scale for everyday engineering, tire pressure ratings, and weather reports, being 1,000 pascals.
