Do you prefer the metric system or the imperial system?

  • its a metric measure of atmospheric pressure

    1 bar = 1 atmosphere = 14.7 psi

    common but arbitrarily linked to earth atmosphere and always changin slightly due to weather

    • Sorry I wasted your time. I should've said "I dunno what it means and I do not care" so you didn't bother trying to explain! Haha

    • Whoa there, cowboy. There's more to it than that: Millibar, unit of air pressure in the metric system, commonly used in meteorology, equal to 100 pascals, 1,000 dynes per square cm (about 0.0145 pounds per square inch), or slightly less than one-thousandth of a standard atmosphere).

      One atmosphere is a bit higher. 1 atm = 101.325 kilopascals. So, we get back to the meter and the density of water at last.
