"The kilobar, equivalent to 100 MPa, is commonly used in geological systems, particularly in experimental petrology. ""Bar(a)"" and ""bara"" are sometimes used to indicate absolute pressures and ""bar(g)"" and ""barg"" for gauge pressures. This usage is deprecated and fuller descriptions such as ""gauge pressure of 2 bar"" or ""2-bar gauge"" are recommended. Bar (unit) The bar is a metric unit of pressure, but is not approved as part of the International System of Units (SI). It is defined as exactly equal to 100,000 Pa, which is slightly less than the current average atmospheric pressure on Earth at sea level. The"

Natural gas companies in Europe, Australia, and South America have adopted 15 °C (59 °F) and 101.325 kPa (14.696 psi) as their standard gas volume reference conditions, used as the base values for defining the standard cubic meter. Also, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) each have more than one definition of standard reference conditions in their various standards and regulations.

The 3–15 psi standard had the same features of being able to power some remote devices, and have a ""live"" zero. However the 4–20 mA standard was better suited to the electronic controllers then being developed.

"Pressure is distributed to solid boundaries or across arbitrary sections of fluid ""normal to"" these boundaries or sections at every point. It is a fundamental parameter in thermodynamics, and it is conjugate to volume. The SI unit for pressure is the pascal (Pa), equal to one newton per square metre (N/m, or kg·m·s). This name for the unit was added in 1971; before that, pressure in SI was expressed simply in newtons per square metre. Other units of pressure, such as pounds per square inch and bar, are also in common use. The CGS unit of pressure is the barye"

In contrast, Americans are familiar with the use of the millibar in US reports of hurricanes and other cyclonic storms.

Specifically, an increase of 1 decibar occurs for every 1.019716 m increase"

The pascal can be expressed using SI derived units, or alternatively solely SI base units, as: where N is the newton, m is the metre, kg is the kilogram, s is the second, and J is the joule. One pascal is the pressure exerted by a force of magnitude one newton perpendicularly upon an area of one square"

Before these standards were widely adopted, several different α values were used. It is still possible to find older probes that are made with platinum that have α = 0.003916 Ω/(Ω·°C) and 0.003902 Ω/(Ω·°C). These different α values for platinum are achieved by doping; basically, carefully introducing impurities into the platinum.

Normally pressure is measured in the U.S. petroleum industry in units of pounds force per square inch of area, or psi. 1000 psi equals 6894.76 kilo-pascals.

This applies not only to the thermodynamics of pressurised gases, but also to the energy density of electric, magnetic, and gravitational fields.
