Millibars to Kilopascals (mbar to kPa)

Convert millibars to kilopascals: 1 mbar = 0.1 kPa. Exact conversion factor, formula, 22-row table and worked examples, with JSON API and MCP access.

Formula

1 mbar = 0.1 kPa

kilopascals = millibars × 0.1 — reverse: millibars = kilopascals × 10

The factor is derived from the SI definitions of both units (base unit: Pa) as listed in NIST SP 811; results on this page are shown to 6 significant figures, the API returns up to 12.

FAQ

How many kilopascals are in one millibar?

1 mbar = 0.1 kPa. The factor comes from the SI definitions of both units (NIST SP 811 / BIPM), so it is exact or correct to at least 10 significant figures.

What is the formula to convert millibars to kilopascals?

Multiply the value in millibars by 0.1: kilopascals = millibars × 0.1. For example, 5 mbar = 0.5 kPa.

How do I convert kilopascals back to millibars?

Multiply by the inverse factor 10 (millibars = kilopascals × 10), or use the kilopascals-to-millibars page.
