Explanation
bar and atmospheres are units of pressure. They are used in common measurement contexts. Which one you use depends on the unit system or industry. They are defined at different scales, so the factor is not 1: 1 bar = 0.9869232667 atmospheres, and 1 atmospheres = 1.01325 bar. Because one atmospheres represents a larger amount than one bar, the numeric value gets smaller in this direction.
How to convert bar to atmospheres
- Enter the value in bar (bar).
- Multiply it by 0.9869232667.
- The result is the equivalent value in atmospheres (atm).
- Round the result if needed.
