The units of atmospheric pressure commonly used in meteorology were formerly the bar (100,000 Pa), which is close to the average air pressure on Earth, and the millibar. Since the introduction of SI units, meteorologists generally measure atmospheric pressure in hectopascals (hPa), equal to 100 pascals or 1 millibar.

The bar is a metric unit of pressure defined as 100,000 Pa (100 kPa), though not part of the International System of Units (SI). A pressure of 1 bar is slightly less than the current average atmospheric pressure on Earth at sea level (approximately 1.013 bar).
Within firearms, chamber pressure is the pressure exerted by a cartridge case's outside walls on the inside of a firearm's chamber when the cartridge is fired. The SI unit for chamber pressure is the megapascal (MPa), while the American SAAMI uses the pound per square inch (psi, symbol lbf/in 2) and the European CIP uses bar (1 bar is equal to 0.1 MPa).
The statsiemens or statmho is a unit of electric conductance equal to 1 statA/statV, corresponding to ~ 1.112 646 pS. [6] The stathenry is a unit of electric inductance equal to 1 statV·s/statA, corresponding to ~ 898.755 1787 GH. [7] [6] [a] The statfarad (statF) is a unit of electric capacitance equal to 1 statC/statV, corresponding to ~ 1. ...
