Convert bar to picopascal
Please provide values below to convert bar [bar] to picopascal [pPa], or Convert picopascal to bar.
1 bar = 1.0000e+17 pPa. To convert bar to picopascal, multiply the value by 1.0000e+17; to go the other way, divide by it (1 pPa = 1.0000e-17 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 = 1.0000e+17 pPa
- 1 pPa = 1.0000e-17 bar
- 10 bar = 1.0000e+18 pPa
- 100 bar = 1.0000e+19 pPa
How to Convert Bar to Picopascal
1 bar = 1e+17 pPa
Example: convert 15 bar to pPa:
15 bar = 15 × 1e+17 pPa = 1.5e+18 pPa

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.
Picopascal
The picopascal (pPa) is a unit of pressure equal to 10^-12 pascals, representing an extremely small pressure measurement.
History/Origin
The picopascal was introduced as part of the SI prefixes to measure very low pressures, primarily in scientific research and specialized fields requiring high precision. Its usage has been limited due to the small magnitude of the unit.
Current Use
Currently, the picopascal is rarely used in practical applications but may be employed in scientific experiments involving ultra-low pressure measurements or in theoretical contexts where extremely small pressure values are relevant.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 bar in picopascal?
1 bar (bar) = 1.0000e+17 picopascal (pPa).
How do you convert bar to picopascal?
Multiply the bar value by 1.0000e+17. For example, 25 bar × 1.0000e+17 = 2.5000e+18 pPa.
What is 10 bar in picopascal?
10 bar = 1.0000e+18 pPa.
Which unit is larger, the bar or the picopascal?
The bar is the larger unit: 1 bar = 1.0000e+17 pPa.
