kgf/cm² to Bar Converter
Pressure · unit-converter
Convert kgf/cm² to Bar 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 kgf/cm²
Kilogram-force per square centimeter (kgf/cm²) is common in pump/compressor and older industrial gauge specifications.
About Bar
The bar is 100,000 Pa. It is convenient for industrial and approximate atmospheric pressures (1 bar ≈ 1 atm).
How to convert kilogram-force per square centimeter to bar
1 kgf/cm² equals 0.980665 bar in this tool (via pascal):
1 kgf_cm2 = (98066.5 Pa ÷ 100000 Pa) bar = 0.980665 bar
Each kgf/cm² carries 98066.5 Pa and each bar 100000 Pa, so one kgf_cm2 equals 98066.5 ÷ 100000 bar.
Let p(kgf_cm2) be pressure in kgf/cm² (kgf_cm2), and p(bar) in Bar (bar). Then:
p(bar) = p(kgf_cm2) × (98066.5 / 100000)
Equivalently, divide by how many kgf_cm2 fit into one bar (Pa per bar divided by Pa per kgf_cm2):
p(bar) = p(kgf_cm2) ÷ 1.0197162129779282
Examples
Example #1: Convert 1 kgf_cm2 to bar
1 kgf_cm2 = 1 kgf_cm2 × (98066.5/100000) bar = 0.980665 bar
1 kgf_cm2 = 1 kgf_cm2 ÷ 1.0197162129779282 = 0.980665 bar
1 kgf_cm2 × (98,066.5/100,000) = 0.980665 bar
Example #2: Convert 10 kgf_cm2 to bar
10 kgf_cm2 = 10 kgf_cm2 × (98066.5/100000) bar = 9.80665 bar
10 kgf_cm2 = 10 kgf_cm2 ÷ 1.0197162129779282 = 9.80665 bar
10 kgf_cm2 × (98,066.5/100,000) = 9.806650 bar
Summary
To convert kgf/cm² to Bar, multiply the value in kgf_cm2 by (98066.5 Pa per kgf_cm2) / (100000 Pa per bar). Equivalently: value_bar = value_kgf_cm2 × (98066.5 / 100000). Numerically, 1 kgf_cm2 equals 0.980665 bar.
Relationship context
Both kgf/cm² and Bar are converted by fixed multiples of the pascal. Multiplying by (Pa per kgf_cm2) ÷ (Pa per bar) gives the same result as passing through pascal, keeping bar, atm, PSI, kPa, hPa, torr, and mmHg consistent on the hub.
