Relation Between Bar and Atm

The pressure is expressed in many units across the globe. Bar and Atm are the units representing pressure. A pascal is one newton of force acting on the 1m2 area. It (atm) is used to express atmospheric pressure. The relation between bar and atm is useful in solving the problem.

What is the Relation Between Bar and Atm?

The units for pressure (Pressure is the force against a surface: Formulated as force per area) bar and atm relation can be mathematically expressed as:

Bar to atm formula 1 bar = 0.986923 atm
atm to bar formula 1 atm = 1.01325 bar

In order to understand the relation. It is important to know the terms individually.

Definition Symbol Formula Fundamental unit
1 atm The pressure exerted by the column atmosphere at sea level. atm 1atm=101.325kPa atm=kg/m.s2
1 Bar Unit of pressure almost similar to atmosphere unit bar 1bar=100,000N/m2 bar=kg/m.s2
