What are Millibar and Millimeter

Definition of Millibar

A millibar is a unit of pressure in the metric system equal to one-thousandth of a bar. It is commonly used in meteorology to measure atmospheric pressure. The term 'millibar' signifies that this unit is a small fraction of a bar, which is a widely recognized unit for pressure. One millibar represents the force of one dyne exerted on an area of one square centimeter.

Definition of Millimeter

A millimeter, often abbreviated as mm, is a unit of length in the metric system. It is equal to one-thousandth of a meter. The millimeter is a small unit that is ideal for measuring dimensions that require precision, such as the thickness of materials, the diameter of small objects, or the precision of engineering components. It is a fundamental unit that helps bridge the gap between the microscopic and macroscopic world.

100 mb = 75.0062 mmHg at 0°C

Example 1:
convert 1013 mb to mmHg:
1013 mb = 1013 x 0.750062 mmHg at 0°C = 760.000 mmHg

Example 2:
convert 500 mb to mmHg:
500 mb = 500 x 0.750062 mmHg at 0°C = 375.031 mmHg

History of Millibar and Millimeter

A brief history of the millibar to millimeter mercury conversion traces back to the establishment of standard atmospheric pressure units. The millibar, originating in the field of meteorology, and the millimeter of mercury, with roots in medicine and science, represent different methods of quantifying atmospheric pressure. The converter harmonizes these two units for practical applications.
