Convert bar to decipascal
Please provide values below to convert bar [bar] to decipascal [dPa], or Convert decipascal to bar.
How to Convert Bar to Decipascal
1 bar = 1000000 dPa
Example: convert 15 bar to dPa:
15 bar = 15 × 1000000 dPa = 15000000 dPa

Bar
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.
Decipascal
The decipascal (dPa) is a unit of pressure equal to one-tenth of a pascal, where 1 dPa = 0.1 Pa.
History/Origin
The decipascal was introduced as a metric unit to provide finer measurement options within the pressure unit system, though it is rarely used in practice due to the widespread adoption of the pascal.
Current Use
The decipascal is seldom used in modern applications; pressure measurements typically utilize pascals or larger units such as kilopascals. It may appear in specialized scientific contexts or educational settings for illustrative purposes.
