What is a bar in pressure measurement?

A bar is a metric pressure unit equal to 100,000 pascals, commonly used in weather reports and engineering.

Why convert bar to ton-force (long)/square inch?

Converting bar to ton-force (long)/square inch helps interpret legacy engineering documents and specifications originally written in British Imperial units.

Is ton-force (long)/square inch an SI unit?

No, it is a legacy Imperial unit not part of the SI system but still used in some historical engineering contexts.
