FAQ

How many bar are in one atmosphere?

One atmosphere equals approximately 1.01325 bar. The two units are nearly identical in magnitude, making rough conversions easy.

How do I convert atmospheres to bar?

Multiply the atmosphere value by 1.01325. For example, 3.5 atm × 1.01325 = 3.546 bar.

Why are atm and bar so close in value?

The bar was originally defined as 10^6 dynes per cm^2, which happens to be very close to atmospheric pressure. One atmosphere is 1.01325 bar, just 1.3% more than 1 bar.

Which unit is more commonly used?

Bar is widely used in industry, tire pressure (in Europe), and meteorology. The atmosphere is common in chemistry and physics for defining standard conditions (STP).
