# Measurement Units of Vacuum Data

The units pascal [Pa], kilopascal [kPa], bar [bar] and millibar [mbar] are most widely used in vacuum technology as units for pressure. The units are converted as follows:

0.001 bar = 0.1 kPa = 1 mbar = 100 Pa

On this website, all absolute pressure values are given in bar or mbar, all relative values in %. The % value is typical for a relative indication of the efficiency of a vacuum generator. Other units are used internationally. Some of them are included in the following table.
