Convert bar to kilonewton/square meter
bar
Definition: A bar (symbol: bar) is a metric unit of pressure that is defined as exactly 100,000 pascals (symbol: Pa). It is equal to 0.987 atmospheres (101,325 Pa), the unit often used as a reference of standard pressure.
History/origin: The unit, bar, was introduced by Vilhelm Bjerknes, a Norwegian meteorologist who founded modern weather forecasting. The term "bar" comes from the Greek word "baros," which means weight.
Current use: Although the bar is a metric unit of pressure, it is not accepted within the International System of Units (SI) and is even deprecated within certain fields. The International Bureau of Weights and Measures has specified the bar as a unit that authors should have the freedom to use but has chosen not to include the bar in the list of non-SI units accepted for use with SI.
kilonewton/square meter
Definition: Kilonewton/square meter is a measure of pressure, force distributed over an area. For conversion purposes, its value is 1000 times the reference unit, pascal.
