Unit Information

Millibar (mbar)

Definition

The millibar (symbol: mbar) is a metric unit of pressure equal to one-thousandth of a bar. It is exactly equal to 100 pascals (1 hectopascal).

Current Use

Millibars are primarily used in meteorology to report atmospheric pressure. Most weather maps use millibars to denote areas of high and low pressure.

Pascal (Pa)

Definition

The pascal (symbol: Pa) is the SI derived unit of pressure used to quantify internal pressure, stress, Young's modulus, and ultimate tensile strength. It is defined as one newton per square meter.

Current Use

The pascal is widely used in science and engineering. However, for many everyday applications, it is a very small unit, so kilopascals (kPa) or megapascals (MPa) are more common.
