Millibar to kilopascals Conversion
1 millibar (mbar) is equal to 0.1 kilopascals (kPa).
1 mbar = 0.1 kPa
or
1 kPa = 10 mbar
Formula
To convert a pressure from millibar (mbar) to kilopascals (kPa), divide the pressure in millibar by 10
p(kPa) = p(mbar) / 10
Examples:
Convert 1 millibar to kilopascals:
p(kPa) = 1mbar / 10 = 0.1 kPa

Frequently asked questions
How do I convert millibar to kilopascals?
Divide the value in millibar by 10 to get the result in kilopascals. For example, 5 mbar ÷ 10 = 0.5 kPa.
How many kilopascals are in 1 millibar?
1 millibar (mbar) is equal to 0.1 kilopascals (kPa).
How do I convert kilopascals back to millibar?
Use the inverse operation: multiply the value in kilopascals by 10 to get the result in millibar.
How accurate is the millibar to kilopascals conversion?
The converter multiplies by the conversion factor 10 and rounds the result to 9 decimal places by default. You can increase or reduce the precision with the digits option on this page.
