What does microbar [µbar] measure?

Microbar [µbar] is a unit of pressure used to express very small absolute or differential pressures, often in vacuum systems and sensitive atmospheric measurements.

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

Conversion is useful to translate very low pressure measurements into legacy Imperial units for compatibility with older engineering documentation and equipment ratings.

Is ton-force (long)/square inch commonly used in modern pressure measurements?

No, it is a legacy Imperial unit mostly used historically in British engineering and has limited use in contemporary systems.
