What are Bar and Kilogram-force per square centimeter

Definition of Bar

A bar is a unit of pressure defined as 100,000 pascals. It is about equal to the atmospheric pressure on Earth at sea level. While not a part of the International System of Units (SI), the bar is widely used in meteorology and geology, among other scientific fields, to measure atmospheric pressures.

Definition of Kilogram-force per square centimeter

Kilogram-force per square centimeter (kgf/cm²) is a non-SI unit of pressure where one kgf/cm² is equal to the pressure exerted by a one kilogram-force acting on an area of one square centimeter. It is a unit that reflects the force of gravity on a given mass and is commonly used in various engineering fields.
