FAQ
What is the conversion factor from kgf/cm² to bar?
1 kgf/cm² equals 0.980665 bar. To convert, multiply the value in kilograms-force per square centimetre by 0.980665.
How do I convert 1 kgf/cm² to bar?
1 kgf/cm² = 0.980665 bar. For any value, multiply by 0.980665.
How do I convert bar back to kgf/cm²?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 1.019716. So 1 bar = 1.01972 kgf/cm².
When would I need to convert kilogram-force per square centimetre to bar?
Pressure conversions between kgf/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).
