1 Pascal = 0.01 Millibar

Key Formulas

Pound per Sq. Inch → Bar

bar = psi × 0.0689476

Bar → Pound per Sq. Inch

psi = bar × 14.5038

Atmosphere → Pound per Sq. Inch

psi = atm × 14.6959

Pound per Sq. Inch → Atmosphere

atm = psi × 0.068046

Formula

mbar = Pa ÷ 100

A millibar is 100 pascals — meteorologists use millibars (or hectopascals, hPa, which are equivalent) for atmospheric pressure. Standard sea-level pressure is 1013.25 mbar. Pilots use altimeter settings in millibars, and weather maps show isobars in millibars for pressure gradient analysis.
