Convert Bar to Kilopascal (bar to kPa)
Convert Bar to Kilopascals (kPa). This implies a straightforward decimal shift in the metric system. The bar is widely used because it is almost exactly equal to atmospheric pressure on Earth, while the kilopascal is the preferred SI unit for scientific reporting.
Multiply the bar value by 100. For example, 2.5 bar × 100 = 250 kPa.
