Real-world reference
Earth's mean sea-level pressure is approximately 1 atm. Pressure doubles roughly every 10 m of seawater. In bars, that gives you: 1 atm = 1.01325 bar, 10 atm = 10.1325 bar, 100 atm = 101.325 bar.
Frequently asked questions
How many bars are in 1 standard atmosphere?
1 standard atmosphere equals 1.01325 bars.
How do I convert standard atmospheres to bars?
Multiply the standard atmosphere value by 1.01325. So x atm × 1.01325 = the equivalent in bar.
What is 5 standard atmospheres in bars?
5 standard atmospheres equals 5.06625 bars.
What is 10 standard atmospheres in bars?
10 standard atmospheres equals 10.1325 bars.
What is 100 standard atmospheres in bars?
100 standard atmospheres equals 101.325 bars.
How do I convert back from bars to standard atmospheres?
Multiply the bar value by 0.986923. For example, 1 bar = 0.986923 atm.
Is the standard atmosphere bigger than the bar?
Yes. 1 standard atmosphere is larger than 1 bar — specifically 1.01325 times larger.
Are these conversion factors exact?
Yes. The factor of 1.01325 is derived directly from the SI definitions of standard atmosphere and bar.
About the standard atmosphere and the bar
The standard atmosphere
The standard atmosphere (atm) is defined as exactly 101,325 Pa. It is the conventional reference for chemistry (gas-law calculations), aviation altimetry, and historic engineering. Despite the name, it is not the actual atmospheric pressure at any single place — that varies daily.
The bar
The bar equals exactly 100,000 pascals — close to but not equal to standard atmospheric pressure (1 atm = 1.01325 bar). It is the working unit for compressed-air systems, pneumatic tools, dive computers, and weather pressure outside North America.
