What is the relationship between bar and picopascal?

One bar equals 100000000000000000 picopascal. This reflects the difference between a commonly used pressure unit and an ultra-fine scientific unit.

In what situations should I use picopascal instead of bar?

Picopascal is best used for describing extremely low pressures encountered in vacuum science, space research, and high-precision instrument calibration.

Why might converting from bar to picopascal result in a very large number?

Because picopascal represents a much smaller unit of pressure, converting from bar involves scaling by a factor of 10^17, producing very large values.

What Is This Tool?

This tool converts pressure measurements from bar, a common engineering and meteorological unit, into picopascal, an ultra-fine SI-derived unit used in scientific contexts to quantify extremely low pressures.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the pressure value in bar you wish to convert.
Select 'bar' as the input unit and 'picopascal [pPa]' as the output unit.
Click the convert button to see the corresponding value in picopascal.

Key Features

Simple conversion from bar to picopascal using a defined conversion factor.
Browser-based and easy to use without requiring any software installation.
Supports accurate expression of very low pressure levels from common atmospheric or industrial sources.

Examples

2 bar converts to 200000000000000000 picopascal [pPa].
0.5 bar converts to 50000000000000000 picopascal [pPa].

Common Use Cases

Reporting atmospheric pressure in scientific units far smaller than those commonly used.
Expressing pressure sensitivity for high-precision instruments like mass spectrometers and cryogenic detectors.
Converting industrial or environmental pressure measurements to extremely low values relevant in vacuum technology and surface science.

Tips & Best Practices

Use this converter when you need to shift from practical pressure units to ultra-sensitive scientific units.
Be mindful that results can be very large numbers due to the huge conversion factor.
Apply picopascal units only for measurements involving extremely low pressures, not for typical daily pressure readings.

Limitations

The large numeric values from conversion may be difficult to interpret for general users.
Picopascal is not suitable for everyday pressure measurements because it measures extremely low pressure levels only.
