What are Millibar and Poundal

A millibar is a unit of pressure defined as one thousandth of a bar, where one bar is equivalent to 100,000 pascals. The millibar is commonly used in meteorology to measure atmospheric pressure, with the average sea level pressure being around 1013 millibars.

A poundal is a unit of force in the Foot-Pound-Second (FPS) system, also known as the Imperial system. It is defined as the force required to accelerate a one-pound mass at a rate of one foot per second squared. One poundal equals approximately 0.138255 Newtons in the International System of Units (SI).

History of Millibar and Poundal
