Convert bars to millipascals

Explanation

From this page you can convert bars to millipascals (or bar to mPa) simply, by using the application above.

In case you are wondering, to convert from bars to millipascals you need to multiply by 100000000. This factor is calculated using the respective definitions of the two units you can find below.

Formula

1 bar=100000000 mPa

barsbar

dimension	pressure
symbol	bar

The bar (bar) is a metric unit of pressure not part of the SI.

The unit is most prominently used in meteorology to express atmospheric air pressure with values generally in millibars.

One bar is roughly equal to the average atmospheric pressure at sea level on Earth.

Definition of the bar

One bar is equal to 100000 pascals.

Equivalences

One bar is equivalent to:

Some Facts

The atmospheric pressure at the surface of Venus is 92 bars, at this pressure the boiling point of water is more than 300 °C (or 572 ° F). Teatime must be quite peculiar on Venus.

The millipascal (mPa) is a unit of pressure.

Definition of the millipascal

One millipascal is equal to 0.001 pascals.

Equivalences

Here are some equivalences between the millipascal and other pressure units:

Some Facts

A pressure in the order of the millipascal is pretty insignificant. A sheet of paper laying flat on a table somewhere on Earth would apply a pressure of roughly 600 millipascals by itself. The pressure created by the atmosphere above the sheet of paper would be tens of thousands of time greater.

Prefix

milli

10^-3

The prefix milli- comes from the Latin mille meaning a thousand. The associated multiplicative factor is 0.001 or 10^-3.

The International System of Units

The International System of Units or SI (from the French Système international (d'unité)), also called metric system in the U.S., is a coherent system of units that was published 1960. It is official in nearly every country.

The General Conference on Weights and Measures (Conférence générale des poids et mesures) is tasked with overseeing the SI.
