mbar to kPa Converter

How to convert millibars to kilopascals

FormulakPa = mbar × 0.1

Multiply the value in millibars by 0.1. To go the other way, multiply by 10 (or divide by 0.1).

A millibar is smaller than a kilopascal: it takes 10 millibars to make one kilopascal.

About the units

Millibar (mbar)

The millibar (mbar) is a unit of pressure in the metric system. One millibar equals 100 pascals (Pa).

Kilopascal (kPa)

One thousand pascals. Tire pressures outside the US are often given in kPa (220–250 kPa for a car). One kilopascal equals 1,000 pascals (Pa).

Frequently asked questions

How many kilopascals are in one millibar?

There are 0.1 kilopascals in one millibar, and this value is exact by definition.

How do I convert millibars to kilopascals?

Multiply the number of millibars by 0.1. For example, 10 mbar × 0.1 = 1 kPa.

How many millibars are in one kilopascal?

One kilopascal equals 10 millibars. That is the reverse factor, 1 ÷ 0.1.

What is 10 millibars in kilopascals?

10 mbar = 1 kPa.

Is this mbar to kPa converter accurate?

Yes. Both units are defined exactly in terms of SI units, so the conversion factor is exact; results are shown to 12 significant figures by default and you can change precision in the converter. Calculations run in your browser using the same tested engine that generated this page.
