About these units
Millibar (mbar)
- Definition
- A millibar (mbar) is one thousandth of a bar, equal to 100 pascals (one hectopascal).
- History
- It became the traditional unit of meteorological pressure in the 20th century.
- Current use
- Millibars (or equivalent hectopascals) report atmospheric pressure on weather charts.
Kilopascal (kPa)
- Definition
- A kilopascal (kPa) is 1,000 pascals, a convenient size for everyday pressures.
- History
- It is a metric multiple of the pascal.
- Current use
- Kilopascals express tyre pressure and atmospheric pressure in many countries.
