What is an mbar?
Mbar stands for Millibar Pressure Unit and is used to measure low range gas pressure. Other common abbreviations for millibar are mb and mbr. One millibar is equal to one-thousandths of a bar which can also be described as the pressure of one newton per square meter. It is also common to see the term mbar used in meteorology. Common conversions are shown below in the chart.
