Convert bar to dyne/square centimeter
Please provide values below to convert bar [bar] to dyne/square centimeter [dyn/cm^2], or Convert dyne/square centimeter to bar.
1 bar = 1000000 dyn/cm^2. To convert bar to dyne/square centimeter, multiply the value by 1000000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 dyn/cm^2 = 1e-06 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 = 1000000 dyn/cm^2
- 1 dyn/cm^2 = 1e-06 bar
- 10 bar = 10000000 dyn/cm^2
- 100 bar = 100000000 dyn/cm^2
How to Convert Bar to Dyne/square Centimeter
1 bar = 1000000 dyn/cm^2
Example: convert 15 bar to dyn/cm^2:
15 bar = 15 × 1000000 dyn/cm^2 = 15000000 dyn/cm^2

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.
Dyne/square Centimeter
A dyne per square centimeter (dyn/cm^2) is a unit of pressure representing the force of one dyne applied over an area of one square centimeter.
History/Origin
The dyne is a unit of force in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system, introduced in the 19th century. The dyn/cm^2 has been used primarily in physics and engineering to measure pressure in CGS units before the widespread adoption of the SI system.
Current Use
Today, the dyn/cm^2 is rarely used outside specialized scientific contexts; pressure is more commonly expressed in pascals (Pa) in the SI system. However, it remains relevant in certain fields like astrophysics and plasma physics where CGS units are still employed.
