What are Microbar and Torr

Definition of Microbar

A microbar (symbol: µbar) is a unit of pressure equivalent to one millionth of a bar. The bar itself is a metric unit of pressure, but not part of the International System of Units (SI). One microbar is defined as 0.1 pascals. Thus, it represents a very small pressure value, commonly used in meteorology and geophysics.

Definition of Torr

A Torr is a unit of pressure named after the Italian physicist Evangelista Torricelli. It is defined as 1/760 of a standard atmosphere, roughly equivalent to the pressure exerted by a millimeter of mercury (mmHg). One Torr is approximately 133.322 pascals. The unit is commonly used in vacuum measurements and barometry.

Conversion of Microbar to Torr

1 µbar = 0.000750062 Torr
1 Torr = 1332.22 µbar

Example 1:
Convert 200 µbar to Torr:
200 µbar = 200 × 0.000750062 Torr = 0.150012 Torr

Example 2:
Convert 1000 µbar to Torr:
1000 µbar = 1000 × 0.000750062 Torr = 0.750062 Torr

History of Microbar and Torr

A brief history of the Microbar to Torr conversion starts with the creation of the bar as a unit of pressure. The microbar, being one millionth of a bar, and the Torr, named after Torricelli, were both developed to provide more precise measurements in various scientific fields. Over time, these units have become essential in areas such as meteorology and vacuum technology.
