What are Bar and PSI

Definition of Bar

A 'bar' is a metric unit of pressure, not part of the International System of Units (SI). It is defined as exactly equal to 100,000 Pascals (Pa), which is slightly less than the current average atmospheric pressure on Earth at sea level. The bar is widely used in various scientific contexts around the globe.

Definition of PSI

Pound-force per square inch (psi) is a unit of pressure or stress based on avoirdupois units. It is the pressure resulting from a force of one pound-force applied to an area of one square inch. PSI is a widely used unit in engineering and mechanics, particularly in the United States.
