Convert picopascal to bar
Enter a value below to convert picopascal [pPa] to bar [bar]. Reverse conversion: Convert bar to picopascal.
1 pPa = 1.0000e-17 bar. To convert picopascal to bar, multiply the value by 1.0000e-17; to go the other way, divide by it (1 bar = 1.0000e+17 pPa). Both units measure pressure and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Picopascal to Bar: Quick Reference
- 1 pPa = 1.0000e-17 bar
- 1 bar = 1.0000e+17 pPa
- 10 pPa = 1.0000e-16 bar
- 100 pPa = 1.0000e-15 bar
How to Convert Picopascal to Bar
1 pPa = 1e-17 bar
Example: convert 15 pPa to bar:
15 pPa = 15 × 1e-17 bar = 1.5e-16 bar

Picopascal: Definition and Use
The picopascal (pPa) is a unit of pressure equal to 10^-12 pascals, representing an extremely small pressure measurement.
History/Origin
The picopascal was introduced as part of the SI prefixes to measure very low pressures, primarily in scientific research and specialized fields requiring high precision. Its usage has been limited due to the small magnitude of the unit.
Current Use
Currently, the picopascal is rarely used in practical applications but may be employed in scientific experiments involving ultra-low pressure measurements or in theoretical contexts where extremely small pressure values are relevant.
Bar: Definition and Use
The bar is a unit of pressure equal to 100,000 pascals, roughly the atmospheric pressure at sea level.
History/Origin
The bar was introduced in 1909 by the British engineering community as a convenient unit for measuring pressure, especially in meteorology and engineering contexts.
Current Use
The bar is widely used in meteorology, engineering, and industrial applications to measure pressure, although the pascal is the SI base unit. It is also common in tire pressure measurements and other pressure-related fields.
Picopascal to Bar: Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 picopascal in bar?
1 picopascal (pPa) = 1.0000e-17 bar (bar).
How do you convert picopascal to bar?
Multiply the picopascal value by 1.0000e-17. For example, 25 pPa × 1.0000e-17 = 2.5000e-16 bar.
What is 10 picopascal in bar?
10 pPa = 1.0000e-16 bar.
Which unit is larger, the picopascal or the bar?
The bar is the larger unit: 1 pPa equals only 1.0000e-17 bar.
