Formula
Formula
dyn/cm² = bar × 1000000
Multiply any value in bar by 1000000 to obtain the value in dynes per square centimetre.
Worked example
Convert 1 bar to dyn/cm².
- 01Start with 1 bar.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1 × 1000000 = 1.00000e+6 dyn/cm².
Result1 bar = 1.00000e+6 dyn/cm²

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from bar to dyn/cm²?
1 bar equals 1000000 dyn/cm². To convert, multiply the value in bar by 1000000.
How do I convert 1 bar to dyn/cm²?
1 bar = 1.00000e+6 dyn/cm². For any value, multiply by 1000000.
How do I convert dyn/cm² back to bar?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 1e-6. So 1 dyn/cm² = 1e-6 bar.
When would I need to convert bar to dyne per square centimetre?
Pressure conversions between bar and dyn/cm² are common when working with mixed-vendor instrumentation, when piping codes use different units to process datasheets, or when converting field readings into SI for hydraulic calculations.
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
