Convert microbar to newton/square meter
Please provide values below to convert microbar [µbar] to newton/square meter [N/m^2], or Convert newton/square meter to microbar.
How to Convert Microbar to Newton/square Meter
1 µbar = 0.1 N/m^2
Example: convert 15 µbar to N/m^2:
15 µbar = 15 × 0.1 N/m^2 = 1.5 N/m^2

Microbar
A microbar (µbar) is a unit of pressure equal to one millionth of a bar, where 1 bar equals 100,000 pascals.
History/Origin
The microbar was introduced as a subunit of the bar to measure very low pressures, particularly in meteorology and vacuum technology, gaining usage in the 20th century as precision pressure measurements became more common.
Current Use
Today, the microbar is used primarily in meteorology for measuring atmospheric pressure variations and in scientific research requiring precise low-pressure measurements.
Newton/square Meter
The newton per square meter (N/m²) is the SI derived unit of pressure, representing the force of one newton applied over an area of one square meter.
History/Origin
The unit was established as part of the International System of Units (SI) in 1960, replacing earlier units like the pascal, which is now the standard SI unit for pressure.
Current Use
N/m², or pascals (Pa), is widely used in science, engineering, and meteorology to measure pressure, stress, and related quantities.
