pascal [Pa] to bar [bar] Converter
Quick Reference
1 pascal (Pa) = 1.0000e-5 bar (bar)
1 bar (bar) = 100000 pascal (Pa)
How to Convert pascal to bar
1 Pa = 1.0000e-5 bar
1 bar = 100000 Pa
To convert pascal to bar, divide the value by 100000 (equivalently, multiply by 1.0000e-5). To convert bar back to pascal, multiply by 100000.
Example: convert 10 Pa to bar:
10 Pa = 10 x 1.0000e-5 = 0.0001 bar
pascal
Definition: The pascal (symbol: Pa) is the SI derived unit of pressure used to quantify internal pressure, stress, Young's modulus and ultimate tensile strength.
History/origin: The pascal is named after Blaise Pascal, a French mathematician, physicist, inventor, writer, and philosopher. The unit was adopted in 1971.
Current use: The pascal is used worldwide for measuring pressure in various applications, including meteorology (atmospheric pressure), material science (stress and strain), and engineering (fluid pressure).
bar
Definition: The bar (symbol: bar) is a metric unit of pressure, but not part of the International System of Units (SI). It is defined as exactly equal to 100,000 Pa (100 kPa), which is slightly less than current average atmospheric pressure on Earth at sea level.
History/origin: The bar was introduced by British meteorologist William Napier Shaw in 1909.
Current use: The bar is used in various fields, including meteorology, diving (for measuring pressure underwater), and industrial applications. It is often used when a unit close to atmospheric pressure is convenient.
