Units derived from the bar include the megabar (symbol: Mbar), kilobar (symbol: kbar), decibar (symbol: dbar), centibar (symbol: cbar), and millibar (symbol: mbar).
Learn the most common pressure units (Pa, kPa, MPa, bar, mbar, psi, atm, Torr/mmHg, inHg, inH₂O), when to use each one, and how to convert accurately using formulas, examples, and quick conversion tables—plus tips for specifying pressure sensors.

Instant free online tool for millibar to bar conversion or vice versa. The millibar [mbar] to bar conversion table and conversion steps are also listed. Also, explore tools to convert millibar or bar to other pressure units or learn more about pressure conversions.
The bar (symbol bar) and the millibar (symbol mbar, also mb) are units of pressure.
Convert millibars (mbar) to another unit of pressure such as pascals, hectopascals, or atmospheres, and see the conversion formulas.
Mbar is a measure of pressure. Get more information and details on the 'mbar' measurement unit, including its symbol, category, and common conversions from mbar to other pressure units.
In SI units 1 mbar equals 100 pascals. The millibar is most commonly used to measure barometric pressure for meteorological purposes and low range gas pressures due to its very small value. In recent years the mb pressure unit has been replaced by the hPa (hectopascal) which is exactly the same value.
The millibar (mbar) is a common metric unit that provides a convenient scale for measuring pressures, particularly those near the atmospheric level. It is a derived unit that simplifies the reporting of air pressure changes, making it useful where small fluctuations are significant.
