Convert bar to dekapascal
Please provide values below to convert bar [bar] to dekapascal [daPa], or Convert dekapascal to bar.
1 bar = 10000 daPa. To convert bar to dekapascal, multiply the value by 10000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 daPa = 0.0001 bar). Both units measure pressure and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 bar = 10000 daPa
- 1 daPa = 0.0001 bar
- 10 bar = 100000 daPa
- 100 bar = 1000000 daPa
How to Convert Bar to Dekapascal
1 bar = 10000 daPa
Example: convert 15 bar to daPa:
15 bar = 15 × 10000 daPa = 150000 daPa

Bar
The bar is a unit of pressure equal to 100,000 pascals, roughly the atmospheric pressure at sea level.
History/Origin
The bar was introduced in 1909 by the British engineering community as a convenient unit for measuring pressure, especially in meteorology and engineering contexts.
Current Use
The bar is widely used in meteorology, engineering, and industrial applications to measure pressure, although the pascal is the SI base unit. It is also common in tire pressure measurements and other pressure-related fields.
Dekapascal
The dekapascal (daPa) is a unit of pressure equal to ten pascals, where one pascal (Pa) is the SI derived unit of pressure representing one newton per square meter.
History/Origin
The dekapascal was introduced as a metric prefix-based unit to simplify the expression of larger pressures, particularly in fields like meteorology and engineering, aligning with the SI system's prefixes. Its usage is relatively uncommon compared to the pascal.
Current Use
The dekapascal is occasionally used in scientific and technical contexts to express pressure measurements more conveniently, especially in applications where pressures are in the range of thousands of pascals. It is part of pressure conversions within the 'Common Converters' category.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 bar in dekapascal?
1 bar (bar) = 10000 dekapascal (daPa).
How do you convert bar to dekapascal?
Multiply the bar value by 10000. For example, 25 bar × 10000 = 250000 daPa.
What is 10 bar in dekapascal?
10 bar = 100000 daPa.
Which unit is larger, the bar or the dekapascal?
The bar is the larger unit: 1 bar = 10000 daPa.
