What does one newton per square millimeter represent?

One newton per square millimeter (N/mm²) is a pressure unit representing one newton of force applied over an area of one square millimeter, exactly equal to 1 megapascal.

What is a millibar used for?

A millibar (mbar) is used to express atmospheric pressure, commonly in weather forecasts, barometer readings, and aviation weather information.

What is the conversion factor between N/mm² and millibar?

The conversion rate is 1 newton per square millimeter equals 10,000 millibar.
