Communicating bearing or contact pressure for press tooling where large loads act on small areas
Expressing pressure capacity for mechanical and hydraulic presses in industrial equipment data
Reporting atmospheric pressures in meteorology and barometric measurements
Providing pressure ratings for automotive tires and scuba tanks

Tips & Best Practices

Always verify units before converting to avoid confusion between imperial and metric systems
Use this conversion to facilitate cross-industry communication where bar is the standard
Consider using pascals when high scientific precision is required, due to bar not being an SI base unit
Double-check calculations when working with high pressures due to the large conversion factor involved

Limitations

Ton-force (short)/sq. inch depends on standard gravity and imperial measurements, which may affect accuracy if conditions vary
Bar is not an official SI unit, so it may not suit all precise scientific applications
The conversion involves a large factor, which can introduce numerical errors if not handled carefully
