What are Millibar and Pound-force per square inch

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 and is equivalent to 100 pascals. The millibar is a derived unit, built from the base unit of pressure in the International System of Units (SI), the pascal. The prefix 'milli' indicates a factor of one-thousandth, making the millibar a convenient unit for expressing atmospheric pressure variations.

Pound-force per square inch, abbreviated as psi, is a unit of pressure in the imperial system. It measures the force of one pound-force applied to an area of one square inch. This unit is widely used in the United States and other countries that are on the imperial system. It is commonly applied in various industries, including automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing, to gauge pressures of gases and liquids. Psi is a critical unit for safety and performance standards in engineering applications.
