What is a Bar?
The Bar is a metric unit of pressure, but not part of the International System of Units (SI). One bar is exactly equal to 100,000 pascals, roughly atmospheric pressure at sea level.
What is a Gigapascal?
The Gigapascal (GPa) is a unit of pressure equal to one billion pascals. It is used in geophysics to measure pressures deep within the Earth.
How to Convert Bar to Gigapascal
To convert Bar to Gigapascal, divide the Bar value by 10000.
GPa = bar ÷ 10000Manual Calculation Steps
