Bar to Pascal Converter

1 Bar equals 100,000 Pascal. To convert Bar to Pascal, multiply the value by 100,000.

To convert Bar to Pascal, multiply the value by 100,000. For example, 10 bar = 1,000 Pa.

The Bar (bar) is equal to 100,000 pascals, widely used for tire pressure, gas pressure, and industrial applications in Europe and internationally.

The Pascal (Pa) is the SI unit of pressure, equal to one newton per square meter, used in science, weather forecasting, and engineering.

100 bar equals 10,000 Pa. To convert Bar to Pascal, multiply the value by 100,000.

Most passenger cars require 2.0–2.5 bar (29–36 psi) for front and rear tires. Always check the sticker on the inside of the driver's door jamb — not the number printed on the tire itself, which is the maximum pressure, not the recommended one. Pressure should be checked when tires are cold.

Road bike tires (23–28 mm wide) typically run at 6.0–8.0 bar (87–116 psi). Wider tires (32–38 mm) use 4.5–6.0 bar (65–87 psi). Mountain bike tires run much lower, at 1.5–2.5 bar (22–36 psi). The correct pressure depends on rider weight, tire width, and terrain.

Standard atmospheric pressure at sea level is 1.01325 bar, 101.325 kPa, or 14.696 psi. Weather reports use hectopascals (hPa) — a "normal" day is around 1013 hPa (1.013 bar). High pressure (fair weather) is above 1020 hPa; low pressure (storms) is below 1000 hPa.

Blood pressure is measured in mmHg (millimeters of mercury), not bar or psi. A healthy reading is below 120/80 mmHg. High blood pressure (hypertension) is defined as 130/80 mmHg or higher. For reference: 120 mmHg systolic = 0.160 bar = 2.32 psi.

FIFA regulations require a match soccer ball to be inflated to 0.6–1.1 bar (8.7–16 psi) above atmospheric pressure. Most balls are inflated to about 0.8–0.9 bar (11.6–13 psi) gauge pressure. An NFL American football is inflated to 12.5–13.5 psi (0.86–0.93 bar) gauge.
