Conversion from bar to kg
Bar is a unit for pressure, kilograms (kg) for weight. Initially, these two sizes have nothing to do with each other. Nevertheless, the conversion is not difficult.
What the bar unit means
- Bar is a unit of pressure, so it is exactly the size that you have to consider when you e.g. B. Fill your car tire with air.
- But our weather is also determined by the air pressure. Although it is usually given in hecto-Pascal (hPA), it can also be shown in bar.
- Pressure means what force acts on a defined area. And that is also the reason why bar can be converted into kilograms (kg).
- The definition of the area belongs to the unit Kg. Quite simply, because you can hammer a nail into the wall without any problems, but not the hammer itself. The area of the nail is smaller, so the force acting on it is greater.
- Bar therefore means kilograms per square centimeter (kg / cm²). You can neglect the physical difference between mass (weight in kg) and force (kilopond or newton) when converting.

The conversion in kg / cm²
- 1 bar = 1.0197 kg / cm². As a rough guideline, it is therefore possible to equate a bar with one kg / cm². That simplifies the calculation in practice.
- If you need it exactly, the reverse applies: 1 kg / cm² = 0.98 bar (rounded).
- So if you want to know how many kg / cm² correspond to 3.5 bar, just do the math: 3.5 x 1.0197 = 3.57 kg / cm² (rounded).
- You can easily afford the inaccuracy of the practical conversion of 1 bar = 1 kg / cm². Strictly speaking, the pressure in your tire also depends on the surrounding air pressure. This shows that other physical conditions also play a role in the exact calculation. The absolute value in bar is always around the pressure of the earth's atmosphere (approx. 1 bar) higher. 1 bar therefore corresponds to approx. 2 bar absolute.
