Formula

Formula
bar = µbar × 1e-6

Multiply any value in microbar (vacuum) by 1e-6 to obtain the value in bar (vacuum).

Worked example

Convert 1.00000e+6 µbar to bar.

  1. 01Start with 1.00000e+6 µbar.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1.00000e+6 × 1e-6 = 1 bar.
Result1.00000e+6 µbar = 1 bar

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from µbar to bar?
1 µbar equals 1e-6 bar. To convert, multiply the value in microbar (vacuum) by 1e-6.
How do I convert 1 µbar to bar?
1 µbar = 1e-6 bar. For any value, multiply by 1e-6.
How do I convert bar back to µbar?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 1000000. So 1 bar = 1.00000e+6 µbar.
When would I need to convert microbar (vacuum) to bar (vacuum)?
Vacuum-pressure conversions between µbar and bar are common in vacuum-chamber instrumentation, pump-down endpoint specification, semiconductor and deposition process work, freeze-drying, electron-microscopy column pressure, vacuum metallurgy and HVAC / refrigeration service. Torr, mmHg and inHg dominate manometric vacuum gauges; mbar is standard on European instruments; micron Hg and mTorr cover high-vacuum work; Pa and kPa are the SI references. This category is vacuum / instrumentation intent — dimensionally the same as pressure, but kept separate so process-pressure searches and vacuum searches stay on the right page.
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).
