What are Millibar and Psi

A millibar is a unit of pressure defined as one-thousandth of a bar, which is itself a metric unit of pressure, but not part of the International System of Units (SI). The millibar is commonly used in meteorology as a unit to measure atmospheric pressure. The symbol for millibar is 'mbar' or 'mb'. Since atmospheric pressure at sea level averages around 1013.25 mbar, the millibar serves as a convenient measure for atmospheric pressure changes.

Psi, or 'pounds per square inch', is a unit of pressure commonly used in the United States and the United Kingdom. It measures the pressure resulting from a force of one pound-force applied to an area of one square inch. Psi is widely used in various applications, such as measuring tire pressure, scuba tank pressure, and the pressure in hydraulic systems. It provides an intuitive understanding of pressure levels for those familiar with Imperial units.

History of Millibar and Psi

The Millibar to Psi Converter has its roots in the scientific need to interchange different units of pressure for various applications. Over time, the necessity to understand and convert atmospheric pressure readings for activities like weather forecasting, aviation, and engineering has cemented the usefulness of such tools.
