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.
Pascal (abbreviations: Pa, or N/m2): is the SI derived unit of pressure used to quantify internal pressure, stress, Young's modulus and ultimate tensile strength. It is one newton per square meter. It is named after the French polymath Blaise Pascal.
How to Convert Bars to Pascals
Example: How many pascals are equivalent to 41.5 Bars?
As;
1 Bars = 100000 pascals
41.5 Bars = Y pascals
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 41.5 times 100000 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 41.5 * 100000 / 1 = 4150000 pascals
Answer is: 4150000 pascals are equivalent to 41.5 Bars.
