What are Microbar and Pound-force square Foot

Definition of Microbar

A microbar, symbolized as µbar, is a metric unit of pressure that is equivalent to one millionth of a bar. The bar itself is a non-SI unit of pressure, roughly equal to the atmospheric pressure on Earth at sea level. Microbar is used in various scientific and meteorological applications to express very small pressure differences, where precision is essential.

Definition of Pound-force square Foot

The pound-force per square foot (psf) is a unit of pressure where one psf equals the pressure resulting from a one-pound force applied uniformly over an area of one square foot. This unit is part of the British Gravitational System, commonly used in engineering and construction in the United States for measuring loads or stresses on surfaces.
