Microbar
A microbar (µbar) is a unit of pressure equal to one millionth of a bar, where 1 bar equals 100,000 pascals.
History/Origin
The microbar was introduced as a subunit of the bar to measure very low pressures, particularly in meteorology and vacuum technology, gaining usage in the 20th century as precision pressure measurements became more common.
Current Use
Today, the microbar is used primarily in meteorology for measuring atmospheric pressure variations and in scientific research requiring precise low-pressure measurements.
Kilogram-Force/square Meter
Kilogram-force per square meter (kgf/m^2) is a unit of pressure representing the force of one kilogram-force applied over an area of one square meter.
History/Origin
The unit originated from the use of kilogram-force, a gravitational force unit based on the kilogram, before the adoption of SI units. It was commonly used in engineering and physics to measure pressure in contexts where gravitational force was considered.
Current Use
Today, kgf/m^2 is largely obsolete and replaced by the SI unit Pascal (Pa). However, it may still be encountered in legacy systems or specific regional applications related to pressure measurement.
