About these units
kg/cm² (kgf/cm²): A kilogram-force per square centimetre (kgf/cm², often written kg/cm²) is 98,066.5 Pa. Many pressure gauges in Asia and the Middle East use it.
Bars (bar): One bar is exactly 100,000 pascals, close to atmospheric pressure at sea level. Tyre and gauge pressures in Europe and Asia are often in bar.
Frequently asked questions
How many bars are in 1 kg/cm²?
1 kg/cm² (kgf/cm²) equals 0.980665 bars.
How do I convert kgf/cm² to bar?
Multiply the value in kg/cm² by 0.980665. For example, 5 kgf/cm² × 0.980665 = 4.903325 bar.
