Bar (abbreviation: bar): is a metric (still not approved by the International System of Units, SI) unit of pressure. It is exactly equal to 100,000 Pa and slightly lower than the current average atmospheric pressure on Earth, at sea level.
Atmosphere (abbreviation: atm): is a unit of standard pressure, equal to 101325 Pa, or 1.01325 bar.
How to Convert Bars to Atmospheres
Example: How many Atmospheres are equivalent to 98.16 Bars?
As;
1 Bars = 0.987167 Atmospheres
98.16 Bars = Y Atmospheres
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 98.16 times 0.987167 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 98.16 * 0.987167 / 1 = 96.90031272 Atmospheres
Answer is: 96.90031272 Atmospheres are equivalent to 98.16 Bars.
