What does ton-force (short)/sq. inch measure?

It measures pressure as one short ton-force applied uniformly over one square inch, typically used in heavy mechanical load contexts.

What is a millibar (mbar)?

A millibar is a unit of pressure equal to one-thousandth of a bar, widely used in meteorology to express atmospheric pressure.

Why convert ton-force (short)/sq. inch to millibar?

Conversion allows translating industrial mechanical pressure values into units suitable for atmospheric science and calibration purposes.
