Bar to kgf/cm² Converter
Pressure · unit-converter
Convert Bar to kgf/cm² with a fixed input and output unit, step-by-step formula line, and reference tables. All calculations bridge through pascal with fixed definitions (standard atmosphere = 101,325 Pa; torr and mmHg = atm/760; plus industrial/manometer units like kgf/cm², inHg, inH2O, and mmH2O).
About Bar
The bar is 100,000 Pa. It is convenient for industrial and approximate atmospheric pressures (1 bar ≈ 1 atm).
About kgf/cm²
Kilogram-force per square centimeter (kgf/cm²) is common in pump/compressor and older industrial gauge specifications.
How to convert bar to kilogram-force per square centimeter
1 bar equals 1.0197162129779282 kgf/cm² in this tool (via pascal):
1 bar = (100000 Pa ÷ 98066.5 Pa) kgf_cm2 = 1.0197162129779282 kgf_cm2
Each bar carries 100000 Pa and each kgf/cm² 98066.5 Pa, so one bar equals 100000 ÷ 98066.5 kgf_cm2.
Let p(bar) be pressure in Bar (bar), and p(kgf_cm2) in kgf/cm² (kgf_cm2). Then:
p(kgf_cm2) = p(bar) × (100000 / 98066.5)
Equivalently, divide by how many bar fit into one kgf_cm2 (Pa per kgf_cm2 divided by Pa per bar):
p(kgf_cm2) = p(bar) ÷ 0.980665
Examples
Example #1: Convert 1 bar to kgf/cm²
1 bar = 1 bar × (100000/98066.5) kgf_cm2 = 1.019716213 kgf_cm2
1 bar = 1 bar ÷ 0.980665 = 1.019716213 kgf_cm2
1 bar × (100,000/98,066.5) = 1.019716 kgf_cm2
Example #2: Convert 10 bar to kgf/cm²
10 bar = 10 bar × (100000/98066.5) kgf_cm2 = 10.1971621298 kgf_cm2
10 bar = 10 bar ÷ 0.980665 = 10.1971621298 kgf_cm2
10 bar × (100,000/98,066.5) = 10.197162 kgf_cm2
Summary
To convert Bar to kgf/cm², multiply the value in bar by (100000 Pa per bar) / (98066.5 Pa per kgf_cm2). Equivalently: value_kgf_cm2 = value_bar × (100000 / 98066.5). Numerically, 1 bar equals 1.0197162129779282 kgf_cm2.
Relationship context
Both Bar and kgf/cm² are converted by fixed multiples of the pascal. Multiplying by (Pa per bar) ÷ (Pa per kgf_cm2) gives the same result as passing through pascal, keeping bar, atm, PSI, kPa, hPa, torr, and mmHg consistent on the hub.
