WHAT DOES MILLIBAR MEAN IN ENGLISH?

millibar

Bar (unit)

The bar is a non-SI unit of pressure, defined by the IUPAC as exactly equal to 100,000 Pa. It is about equal to the atmospheric pressure on Earth at sea level, and since 1982 the IUPAC has recommended that the standard for atmospheric pressure should be harmonized to 100,000 Pa = 1 bar ≈ 750.0616827 Torr. The same definition is used in the compressor and the pneumatic tool industries. The bar and the millibar were introduced by the British meteorologist William Napier Shaw in 1909, while he was the director of the Meteorological Office in London. Units derived from the bar are the megabar, kilobar, decibar, centibar, and millibar. These are not SI or cgs units, but they are accepted by the BIPM for use with the SI. The bar is legally recognized in countries of the European Union. The bar unit is considered deprecated by some entities. While the BIPM includes it under the class "Non-SI units accepted for use with the SI", the NIST includes it in the list of units to avoid and recommends the use of kilopascals and megapascals instead.

Definition of millibar in the English dictionary

The definition of millibar in the dictionary is a cgs unit of atmospheric pressure equal to 10–3 bar, 100 newtons per square metre or 0.7500617 millimetre of mercury.
