Convert bar to newton/square centimeter
Please provide values below to convert bar [bar] to newton/square centimeter [N/cm^2], or Convert newton/square centimeter to bar.
1 bar = 10 N/cm^2. To convert bar to newton/square centimeter, multiply the value by 10; to go the other way, divide by it (1 N/cm^2 = 0.1 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 = 10 N/cm^2
- 1 N/cm^2 = 0.1 bar
- 10 bar = 100 N/cm^2
- 100 bar = 1000 N/cm^2
How to Convert Bar to Newton/square Centimeter
1 bar = 10 N/cm^2
Example: convert 15 bar to N/cm^2:
15 bar = 15 × 10 N/cm^2 = 150 N/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.
Newton/square Centimeter
The newton per square centimeter (N/cm²) is a unit of pressure representing the force of one newton applied over an area of one square centimeter.
History/Origin
The unit derives from the SI unit of force, the newton, combined with the centimeter as a unit of area. It has been used in fields like engineering and physics to measure pressure, especially in contexts where the centimeter is a convenient unit of length. Its usage predates the widespread adoption of the pascal (Pa), which is equivalent to N/m².
Current Use
The N/cm² is still used in certain engineering and industrial applications, particularly in contexts where pressure measurements are expressed in centimeters rather than meters. It is also used in some scientific fields for convenience, though the pascal is more common internationally.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 bar in newton/square centimeter?
1 bar (bar) = 10 newton/square centimeter (N/cm^2).
How do you convert bar to newton/square centimeter?
Multiply the bar value by 10. For example, 25 bar × 10 = 250 N/cm^2.
What is 10 bar in newton/square centimeter?
10 bar = 100 N/cm^2.
Which unit is larger, the bar or the newton/square centimeter?
The bar is the larger unit: 1 bar = 10 N/cm^2.
