Convert Bar to Kilopascal
Bar
A bar is a unit of pressure defined as 100,000 pascals (Pa). It is not an SI unit, but it is widely used in many fields, including meteorology, oceanography, and engineering.
The bar was introduced by the Norwegian meteorologist Vilhelm Bjerknes, and it is derived from the Greek word "baros," meaning weight. Although the bar is not an SI unit, it is accepted for use with the SI.
Kilopascal
The kilopascal (kPa) is a unit of pressure in the metric system. It is equal to 1,000 pascals (Pa). Since the pascal is defined as one newton per square meter (N/m²), the kilopascal represents a pressure of 1,000 N/m². It is commonly used to measure pressure in applications like weather (atmospheric pressure), engineering (tire pressure, material strength), and medicine (blood pressure). 1 kPa = 1,000 Pa = 1,000 N/m².
The kilopascal derives from the pascal (Pa), which is named after Blaise Pascal (1623–1662), a French mathematician and physicist known for his work in fluid mechanics and pressure. The prefix "kilo-" comes from the Greek word chilioi, meaning a thousand, and is a standard SI prefix denoting a factor of 1,000. The kilopascal is widely used because it is a convenient unit for measuring pressures in the moderate range, where the pascal alone might result in very large numbers.
