Convert kilogram-force/square meter to bar
Please provide values below to convert kilogram-force/square meter [kgf/m^2] to bar [bar], or Convert bar to kilogram-force/square meter.
1 kgf/m^2 = 9.80665e-05 bar. To convert kilogram-force/square meter to bar, multiply the value by 9.80665e-05; to go the other way, divide by it (1 bar = 10197.1621298 kgf/m^2). Both units measure pressure and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Kilogram-Force/square Meter
Kilogram-force per square meter (kgf/m^2) is a unit of pressure representing the force of one kilogram-force applied over an area of one square meter.
History/Origin
The unit originated from the use of kilogram-force, a gravitational force unit based on the kilogram, before the adoption of SI units. It was commonly used in engineering and physics to measure pressure in contexts where gravitational force was considered.
Current Use
Today, kgf/m^2 is largely obsolete and replaced by the SI unit Pascal (Pa). However, it may still be encountered in legacy systems or specific regional applications related to pressure measurement.
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.
