Pascal to Bar (Pa to bar)
Result
0.00001 Bar
Formula
bar = Pa × 0.00001
1 Pa = 0.00001 bar, and 1 bar = 100,000 Pa.
The pascal is one newton per square metre. The bar is exactly 100,000 Pa, the standard atmosphere exactly 101,325 Pa, the torr exactly 1/760 atm, and psi is one pound-force per square inch (6,894.757 Pa).
Worked examples
- 1 Pa × 0.00001 = 0.00001 bar
- 10 Pa × 0.00001 = 0.0001 bar
- 100 Pa × 0.00001 = 0.001 bar
Common mistakes
- Tyre and compressor gauges read gauge pressure — pressure above the surrounding air. Absolute pressure is about 1 atm (14.7 psi, 1.013 bar) higher.
- Weather maps use hectopascals (1 hPa = 100 Pa = 1 millibar); standard sea-level pressure is 1,013.25 hPa.
- Torr and mmHg differ by less than one part per million and are interchangeable for practical purposes.
