Why convert from kilogram-force/sq. cm to bar?

Converting to bar standardizes pressure values into a widely accepted unit for engineering, meteorology, and industry, making compatibility with modern systems easier.

Bar is not an SI base unit but is accepted for use with SI and commonly used in many technical fields.

Are there limitations to using kilogram-force/sq. cm?

Yes, since it is a non-SI unit, some industries may not recognize kilogram-force/sq. cm, which can cause inconsistencies.
