Convert kilogram-force/sq. millimeter to bar
Please provide values below to convert kilogram-force/sq. millimeter [kgf/mm^2] to bar [bar], or Convert bar to kilogram-force/sq. millimeter.
1 kgf/mm^2 = 98.0665 bar. To convert kilogram-force/sq. millimeter to bar, multiply the value by 98.0665; to go the other way, divide by it (1 bar = 0.0101971621298 kgf/mm^2). Both units measure pressure and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 kgf/mm^2 = 98.0665 bar
- 1 bar = 0.0101971621298 kgf/mm^2
- 10 kgf/mm^2 = 980.665 bar

Kilogram-Force/sq. Millimeter
Kilogram-force per square millimeter (kgf/mm²) is a unit of pressure representing the force of one kilogram-force applied over an area of one square millimeter.
History/Origin
The unit originated from the use of kilogram-force, a gravitational force unit based on the kilogram, and was commonly used in engineering and material science to measure pressure before the adoption of SI units. Its usage has declined with the standardization of the pascal (Pa).
Current Use
Today, kgf/mm² is still used in some engineering fields, especially in material strength and pressure measurements, but it is largely replaced by SI units like the pascal (Pa) or megapascals (MPa).
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.
