Convert bar to terapascal
Please provide values below to convert bar [bar] to terapascal [TPa], or Convert terapascal to bar.
1 bar = 1e-07 TPa. To convert bar to terapascal, multiply the value by 1e-07; to go the other way, divide by it (1 TPa = 10000000 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 = 1e-07 TPa
- 1 TPa = 10000000 bar
- 10 bar = 1e-06 TPa
- 100 bar = 1e-05 TPa
How to Convert Bar to Terapascal
1 bar = 1e-07 TPa
Example: convert 15 bar to TPa:
15 bar = 15 × 1e-07 TPa = 1.5e-06 TPa

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.
Terapascal
A terapascal (TPa) is a unit of pressure equal to one trillion pascals (10^12 Pa).
History/Origin
The terapascal was introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) to measure extremely high pressures, especially in scientific research involving materials under extreme conditions, such as in geophysics and high-energy physics.
Current Use
The terapascal is used in scientific fields to quantify very high pressures, such as in studying Earth's deep interior, material science, and high-pressure physics experiments.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 bar in terapascal?
1 bar (bar) = 1e-07 terapascal (TPa).
How do you convert bar to terapascal?
Multiply the bar value by 1e-07. For example, 25 bar × 1e-07 = 2.5e-06 TPa.
What is 10 bar in terapascal?
10 bar = 1e-06 TPa.
Which unit is larger, the bar or the terapascal?
The terapascal is the larger unit: 1 bar equals only 1e-07 TPa.
