What does 1 bar represent in pressure units?

1 bar equals 100,000 pascals and is a measure of force per unit area slightly less than atmospheric pressure.

Where is ton-force (short)/sq. inch commonly used?

This unit is often applied in heavy industrial settings such as forging, stamping, and mechanical press operations to describe large load pressures.

No, bar is not an SI base unit but is widely accepted and used with SI in many fields.
