How to Convert Bar to Kilogram-force per Square Centimetre
- 1 bar = 1.019716213 kgf/cm²
- 1 kgf/cm² = 0.980665 bar
- Example: convert 6 bar to kgf/cm²: 6 bar = 6 × 1.019716213 kgf/cm² = 6.118297278 kgf/cm²
Formula
kgf/cm² = bar × 1.019716212978
Derivation from SI units:
- 1 bar = 10⁵ Pa (exact, by definition)
- 1 kgf/cm² = 9.80665 N ÷ 10⁻⁴ m² = 98 066.5 Pa (exact), also called the technical atmosphere (at)
- 1 bar = 100000 Pa ÷ 98066.5 Pa per kgf/cm² = 1.019716212978 kgf/cm²
Both units are defined exactly, so the factor is exact. Bar definition: bar; Kilogram-force per Square Centimetre definition: kilogram-force per square centimetre.
Worked examples
- A 6 bar air line is 6.118297278 kgf/cm².
6 bar × 1.019716213 = 6.118297278 kgf/cm² - A PN16 rating of 16 bar is 16.31545941 kgf/cm².
16 bar × 1.019716213 = 16.31545941 kgf/cm²
