What are Millibar and Centipascal

A millibar is a unit of pressure in the metric system equivalent to one-thousandth of a bar. The term 'milli' denotes a factor of one-thousandth, and a bar is a recognized unit for measuring atmospheric pressure. This unit is commonly used in meteorology and for measuring small differences in air pressure.

A centipascal is a pressure unit that is one hundredth of a pascal, which is the SI (International System of Units) unit for pressure. One pascal is defined as one newton per square meter, and the centipascal follows as a smaller subdivision, making it suitable for applications requiring precise pressure measurements.

History of Millibar and Centipascal

The conversion between millibars and centipascals has been a fundamental aspect of pressure measurement, aiding various fields like meteorology and engineering. This converter's history lies in the adoption of the metric system and the need for precise pressure conversions in scientific and industrial applications.
