Newton/square Millimeter
Newton per square millimeter (N/mm²) is a unit of pressure or stress, representing the force of one newton applied over an area of one square millimeter.
History/Origin
The unit derives from the SI base unit newton for force and the millimeter for area, commonly used in engineering and material science to measure stress and pressure. It has been in use since the adoption of the SI system, with increased application in fields requiring precise measurement of high pressures.
Current Use
N/mm² is widely used in engineering, material science, and construction to specify material strength, stress, and pressure levels, especially in contexts where high precision is required, such as in the specification of tensile strength and pressure ratings.
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.
