What is the definition of a bar unit?

A bar is a pressure unit defined as 100,000 pascals, slightly less than the standard atmospheric pressure, and widely used in meteorology and industry.

What does ton-force (long)/square foot measure?

It measures pressure as the force of one long ton (2240 pounds-force) applied over one square foot, commonly used in older engineering and shipbuilding.

Why should I be cautious when converting between bar and ton-force (long)/square foot?

Because the units stem from different measurement systems (metric vs imperial), rounding and definition differences may affect precision.
