Kilopascal (abbreviations: kPa, or kN/m2): is the SI derived unit of pressure used to quantify internal pressure, stress, Young's modulus and ultimate tensile strength. It is one kilonewton per square meter. It is named after the French polymath Blaise Pascal.
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.
How to Convert Kilopascals to Bars
Example: How many Bars are equivalent to 41.03 kilopascals?
As;
1 kilopascals = 0.01 Bars
41.03 kilopascals = Y Bars
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 41.03 times 0.01 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 41.03 * 0.01 / 1 = 0.4103 Bars
Answer is: 0.4103 Bars are equivalent to 41.03 kilopascals.
