Convert pascal to bar
Please provide values below to convert pascal [Pa] to bar [bar], or Convert bar to pascal.
1 Pa = 1e-05 bar. To convert pascal to bar, multiply the value by 1e-05; to go the other way, divide by it (1 bar = 100000 Pa). Both units measure pressure and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 Pa = 1e-05 bar
- 1 bar = 100000 Pa
- 10 Pa = 0.0001 bar
- 100 Pa = 0.001 bar
How to Convert Pascal to Bar
1 Pa = 1e-05 bar
Example: convert 15 Pa to bar:
15 Pa = 15 × 1e-05 bar = 0.00015 bar

Pascal
The pascal (Pa) is the SI derived unit of pressure, defined as one newton per square meter.
History/Origin
Named after Blaise Pascal, the pascal was adopted as the SI unit of pressure in 1971, replacing earlier units like the bar and atmosphere.
Current Use
The pascal is widely used in science, engineering, and meteorology to measure pressure, with common applications including atmospheric pressure, tire pressure, and fluid pressure in systems.
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 pascal in bar?
1 pascal (Pa) = 1e-05 bar (bar).
How do you convert pascal to bar?
Multiply the pascal value by 1e-05. For example, 25 Pa × 1e-05 = 0.00025 bar.
What is 10 pascal in bar?
10 Pa = 0.0001 bar.
Which unit is larger, the pascal or the bar?
The bar is the larger unit: 1 Pa equals only 1e-05 bar.
