Bar (unit) Bar (unit) The bar is a metric unit of pressure, but is not approved as part of the International System of Units (SI). It is defined as exactly equal to 100,000 Pa, which is slightly less than the current average atmospheric pressure on Earth at sea level. The bar and the millibar were introduced by the Norwegian meteorologist Vilhelm Bjerknes, who was a founder of the modern practice of weather forecasting. The International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) lists the bar as one of the "non-SI units [that authors] should have the freedom to use", but has declined to
Strength of materials (UTS) of AISI 1018 Steel is 440 MN/m. In general, the SI unit of stress is the pascal, where 1 Pa = 1 N/m. In Imperial units, the unit of stress is given as lbf/in² or pounds-force per square inch. This unit is often abbreviated as psi. One thousand psi is abbreviated ksi. A factor of safety is a design criteria that an engineered component or structure must achieve. formula_3, where FS: the factor of safety, R: The applied stress, and UTS: ultimate stress (psi or N/m) Margin of Safety is also sometimes used to as design criteria. It is
