What are Microbar and Torr

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.

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.

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.
