Formula
Formula
bar = dyn/cm² × 1e-6
Multiply any value in dynes per square centimetre by 1e-6 to obtain the value in bar.
Worked example
Convert 1.00000e+6 dyn/cm² to bar.
- 01Start with 1.00000e+6 dyn/cm².
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1.00000e+6 × 1e-6 = 1 bar.
Result1.00000e+6 dyn/cm² = 1 bar

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from dyn/cm² to bar?
1 dyn/cm² equals 1e-6 bar. To convert, multiply the value in dynes per square centimetre by 1e-6.
How do I convert 1 dyn/cm² to bar?
1 dyn/cm² = 1e-6 bar. For any value, multiply by 1e-6.
How do I convert bar back to dyn/cm²?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 1000000. So 1 bar = 1.00000e+6 dyn/cm².
When would I need to convert dyne per square centimetre to bar?
Pressure conversions between dyn/cm² and bar 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).
