dcterms:description The \(\textit{bar}\) 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 \(100,000\,Pa = 1 \,bar \approx 750.0616827\, Torr\). Units derived from the bar are the megabar (symbol: \(Mbar\)), kilobar (symbol: \(kbar\)), decibar (symbol: \(dbar\)), centibar (symbol: \(cbar\)), and millibar (symbol: \(mbar\) or \(mb\)). They are not SI or cgs units, but they are accepted for use with the SI.
