FAQ
What is the conversion factor from bar to kgf/mm²?
1 bar equals 0.01019716 kgf/mm². To convert, multiply the value in bar by 0.01019716.
How do I convert 1 bar to kgf/mm²?
1 bar = 0.0101972 kgf/mm². For any value, multiply by 0.01019716.
How do I convert kgf/mm² back to bar?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 98.0665. So 1 kgf/mm² = 98.0665 bar.
When would I need to convert bar to kilogram-force per square millimetre?
Pressure conversions between bar and kgf/mm² 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).
