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/sq. Millimeter
Kilogram-force per square millimeter (kgf/mm²) is a unit of pressure representing the force of one kilogram-force applied over an area of one square millimeter.
History/Origin
The unit originated from the use of kilogram-force, a gravitational force unit based on the kilogram, and was commonly used in engineering and material science to measure pressure before the adoption of SI units. Its usage has declined with the standardization of the pascal (Pa).
Current Use
Today, kgf/mm² is still used in some engineering fields, especially in material strength and pressure measurements, but it is largely replaced by SI units like the pascal (Pa) or megapascals (MPa).
