About Pascal
Definition: The pascal (symbol: Pa) is the SI unit of pressure, defined as one newton per square meter of force applied perpendicularly.
History: Named after French mathematician Blaise Pascal in 1971. Adopted as standard SI pressure unit replacing various national standards.
Current Use: Universal scientific and engineering pressure unit. Used in meteorology, materials science, and precise pressure measurements.
Examples: Sound pressure: 20 μPa, blood pressure: 10-20 kPa, vacuum systems: 1-1000 Pa, material stress: MPa range
About Millibar
Definition: The millibar (symbol: mbar) is equal to one thousandth of a bar or 100 pascals, standard in meteorology.
History: Adopted by meteorologists for convenient atmospheric pressure measurement, avoiding decimal points in weather data.
Current Use: Primary unit for weather reporting, barometric pressure, and atmospheric science worldwide.
Examples: Sea level pressure: 1013 mbar, high pressure: 1030+ mbar, low pressure: <1000 mbar, hurricanes: <950 mbar
