Understanding Pressure Conversion
What is a Bar?
A bar is a metric unit of pressure equal to 100,000 pascals (100 kPa). It's approximately equal to atmospheric pressure at sea level. The bar is widely used in meteorology and many industrial applications.
Kilogram per Square Centimeter (kgf/cm²)
The kilogram-force per square centimeter (kgf/cm²) is a unit of pressure equal to the force exerted by one kilogram mass under standard gravity over an area of one square centimeter.
Conversion Formula
To convert from bars to kgf/cm², multiply the pressure value in bars by 1.019716:
kgf/cm² = bar × 1.019716
