What does microbar measure?

Microbar measures very low pressures often found in vacuum and sensitive atmospheric applications.

What is ksi used for?

Ksi is used to express stress or strength in materials and structural engineering.

Why is the conversion from microbar to ksi so small?

Because microbar measures tiny pressures and ksi measures large engineering stresses, the conversion results in very small decimal values.
