Discover Newtum's N/cm² to bar converter, a precise tool crafted for easy conversion of pressure units. Get accurate results in a click!
Newton per square centimeter, denoted as N/cm², is a unit of pressure in the metric system. It measures the force applied perpendicularly to a centimeter-squared area. One N/cm² is equal to the pressure exerted by a one Newton force acting on an area of one square centimeter. This unit is not as widely used as other pressure units like pascal or bar but is still relevant in various scientific and engineering calculations where precision is vital.
Definition of barA bar is a metric unit of pressure, but not part of the International System of Units (SI). It is defined as exactly equal to 100,000 pascals (Pa). This unit is widely used in meteorology, oceanography, and geology, as well as for measuring tire pressure in some countries. One bar is approximately equal to the atmospheric pressure at sea level and is slightly less than the average atmospheric pressure on Earth at an altitude of 111 meters.
| Newton per Square Centimeter (N/cm²) | Bar |
|---|---|
| 0.01 N/cm² | 0.0001 bar |
| 0.1 N/cm² | 0.001 bar |
| 0.5 N/cm² | 0.005 bar |
| 1 N/cm² | 0.01 bar |
| 2 N/cm² | 0.02 bar |
| 5 N/cm² | 0.05 bar |
| 10 N/cm² | 0.1 bar |
| 20 N/cm² | 0.2 bar |
| 50 N/cm² | 0.5 bar |
| 100 N/cm² | 1 bar |
Example 1:
Convert 0.5 N/cm² to bar:
0.5 N/cm² = 0.5 × 0.01 bar = 0.005 bar
Example 2:
Convert 2 N/cm² to bar:
2 N/cm² = 2 × 0.01 bar = 0.02 bar
The Newton per square centimeter to bar converter is a tool that stems from the need to standardize pressure measurements across different industries. Its development allows for seamless conversion between these two units of pressure, facilitating better communication and accuracy in scientific and engineering contexts.
Understanding the practical applications of the N/cm² to bar converter is crucial for professionals across various fields.
Example 1: To convert 3 N/cm² to bar, the calculation would be 3 N/cm² × 0.01 = 0.03 bar.
Example 2: Converting 7.5 N/cm² to bar is done by multiplying 7.5 by 0.01, resulting in 0.075 bar.
