Convert bar to ton-force (long)/square inch
Please provide values below to convert bar [bar] to ton-force (long)/square inch [tonf (UK)/in^2], or Convert ton-force (long)/square inch to bar.
1 bar = 0.00647489900443 tonf (UK)/in^2. To convert bar to ton-force (long)/square inch, multiply the value by 0.00647489900443; to go the other way, divide by it (1 tonf (UK)/in^2 = 154.4425634 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.
Ton-Force (Long)/square Inch
Ton-force per square inch (tonf/in²) is a unit of pressure representing the force exerted by one ton-force distributed over an area of one square inch.
History/Origin
The ton-force (long) originated from the imperial system of units used in the UK, where it was defined as the force exerted by a long ton (2,240 pounds) under standard gravity. It has been used historically in engineering and pressure measurements but has largely been replaced by SI units.
Current Use
Today, ton-force per square inch is rarely used in modern engineering, having been largely replaced by pascals (Pa) or pounds per square inch (psi). It may still appear in legacy systems or specific industrial contexts in the UK.
