What are Bar and Kilopascal

Definition of Bar

A bar is a unit of pressure defined as exactly 100,000 Pascals. It is not part of the International System of Units (SI) but is widely accepted and used in various scientific and engineering fields. One bar is roughly equivalent to the atmospheric pressure on Earth at sea level.

Definition of Kilopascal

A kilopascal (kPa) is a unit of pressure in the metric system and part of the International System of Units (SI). One kilopascal equals 1,000 Pascals, the SI unit of pressure named after the French mathematician and physicist Blaise Pascal. Kilopascals are commonly used to express smaller amounts of pressure, such as tire inflation levels and blood pressure measurements.
