1[bar] = 1E5[ Pa] = 10E5 [N/m^2] = 1E5/9.81[kg/m^2]
= 1E5/9.81/(100)^2[kg/cm^2] = 1.019[kg/cm^2]

The unit kg/cm2 is an old (obsolete) unit and is not widely used in the 
Metric World. As you can see from above 1 bar is roughly equal to 1 kg/cm2.

1 bar is directly linked to the SI-unit Pascal (Pa), which is defined as 1 
N/m2.

| Can someone tell me how one decides, in the metric system, whether to give
| pressure as kg/cm2, bar, or whatever? I notice tank pressures seem to be
| given in bar, and  most others in kg/cm2.
