About Pressure Units
Pressure measures the force applied perpendicular to a surface per unit area. It is a crucial concept in meteorology, engineering, physics, and medicine. The pascal (Pa) is the SI unit for pressure, though atmospheres, bars, and millimeters of mercury remain in common use.
Pascal
Named after Blaise Pascal, the pascal is the SI unit for pressure and equals one newton per square meter. It is widely used in physics, meteorology, and engineering analysis.
Kilopascal
The kilopascal offers a practical scale for everyday engineering, tire pressure ratings, and weather reports, being 1,000 pascals.
Bar
The bar was introduced in the early 20th century for meteorology as a convenient approximation of atmospheric pressure. Although not an SI unit, it remains common in industry.
