API, OpenAPI and WebMCP documentation

Explanation

Convert through pascals: 1 kPa = 1000 Pa and 1 bar = 100,000 Pa, so 1 kPa = 0.01 bar.

Method & Reference

Method basis: exact conversion formula shown in Snapshot.
Applied factor: 1 Kilopascal = 0.01 Bar (using exact pascal-based pressure definitions).
Consistency rule: calculator output and table values use the same constants and rounding policy.
