What are Atmosphere and Bar

The term 'atmosphere' is a unit of measurement for pressure defined as equal to the air pressure at sea level at a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius. It represents the force per unit area exerted by the weight of the atmosphere as gravity pulls it to Earth. One standard atmosphere (atm) is equivalent to 101,325 Pascals or about 14.696 psi.

A '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. This measurement is roughly equal to the atmospheric pressure on Earth at sea level. One bar is slightly less than the pressure of one atmosphere, which is 1.01325 bars.

History of Atmosphere and Bar

The concept of the standard atmosphere to bar conversion has roots in the need for a common reference for pressure measurements. Over time, the establishment of a standard atmosphere as a unit facilitated consistent scientific research and engineering calculations, leading to the creation of tools like the Standard Atmosphere to Break Converter.
