bar [bar] to pascal [Pa] Converter
Quick Reference
1 bar (bar) = 100000 pascal (Pa)
1 pascal (Pa) = 1.0000e-5 bar (bar)
How to Convert bar to pascal
1 bar = 100000 Pa
1 Pa = 0.00001 bar
To convert bar to pascal, multiply the value by 100000. To convert pascal back to bar, divide by 100000.
Example: convert 10 bar to Pa:
10 bar = 10 x 100000 = 1000000 Pa
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.
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).
