Question 1

What is a nanobar?

Accepted Answer

1 nbar = 10⁻⁹ bar = 0.1 mPa. Extremely low pressure, used in high vacuum research.

Question 2

Where are nanobars measured?

Accepted Answer

Ultra-high vacuum systems, space simulation chambers. Pressures below 10⁻⁹ bar approach interstellar conditions.

Question 3

What pressure units do different industries use?

Accepted Answer

PSI in US/UK automotive and HVAC. Bar/kPa in European engineering. mmHg/torr in medicine. Atmospheres in diving and altitude.

Question 4

Is gauge pressure different from absolute pressure?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Gauge pressure reads 0 at atmospheric pressure. Absolute pressure adds atmospheric (~14.7 psi). Vacuum gauge shows negative gauge pressure.
