What are Poundal square Foot and Millibar

A poundal square foot (pdl sq ft) is a unit of pressure representing the force of one poundal applied over an area of one square foot. In the British engineering system, poundal is a unit of force, which is derived from the fundamental units of mass, length, and time. It is not commonly used in modern pressure measurements, but it provides a link between the imperial units of force and area.

A millibar (mbar) is a metric unit of pressure that is equal to one-thousandth of a bar, where one bar is nearly equivalent to the atmospheric pressure at sea level. The millibar is commonly used in meteorology to describe atmospheric pressures, where standard sea-level pressure is defined as 1013.25 mbar. It serves as a convenient measure for weather forecasts and barometric readings.
