Convert bar to gram-force/sq. centimeter

Please provide values below to convert bar [bar] to gram-force/sq. centimeter [gf/cm^2], or Convert gram-force/sq. centimeter to bar.

1 bar = 1019.71621298 gf/cm^2. To convert bar to gram-force/sq. centimeter, multiply the value by 1019.71621298; to go the other way, divide by it (1 gf/cm^2 = 0.000980665 bar). Both units measure pressure and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

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.


Gram-Force/sq. Centimeter

Gram-force per square centimeter (gf/cm²) is a unit of pressure representing the force exerted by one gram-force applied over an area of one square centimeter.

History/Origin

The unit originated from the use of gram-force, a non-SI unit of force based on the gram, and was commonly used in engineering and scientific contexts before the adoption of SI units. It was primarily used in regions and industries where the metric system was prevalent.

Current Use

Today, gf/cm² is largely considered obsolete and is rarely used in modern scientific or engineering applications. Pressure measurements are typically expressed in pascals (Pa) or bar, but the unit may still appear in legacy systems or specific niche contexts.
