How to Convert Microbar to Standard Atmosphere

1 µbar = 9.86923266716013e-07 atm

Example: convert 15 µbar to atm:
15 µbar = 15 × 9.86923266716013e-07 atm = 1.48038490007402e-05 atm

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.


Standard Atmosphere

The standard atmosphere (atm) is a unit of pressure defined as 101,325 pascals, representing the average atmospheric pressure at sea level.

History/Origin

The standard atmosphere was established in the early 20th century to provide a consistent reference for pressure measurements, based on the average atmospheric pressure at sea level under standard conditions.

Current Use

The atm is commonly used in fields such as meteorology, aviation, and engineering to express pressure, especially in contexts involving gases and atmospheric conditions.
