Unit Information

Kilopascal (kPa)

Definition

The kilopascal (symbol: kPa) is a decimal multiple of the pascal, the SI unit of pressure. One kPa is equal to 1,000 pascals.

Current Use

The kilopascal is a common unit of pressure in many countries, used for measuring tire pressure, fluid pressure, and air pressure in various technical applications.

Bar (bar)

Definition

The bar is a metric unit of pressure, but not part of the International System of Units (SI). It is defined as exactly 100,000 Pa (100 kPa), which is slightly less than the current average atmospheric pressure on Earth at sea level.

Current Use

The bar and the millibar are used in meteorology, engineering, and in various industries to measure atmospheric pressure and fluid pressure.
