About the kilogram-force per square centimeter and the bar

The kilogram-force per square centimeter

The kilogram-force per square centimeter (kgf/cm²) equals exactly 98,066.5 Pa — one kilogram-force acting on one square centimeter. It is used on older pressure gauges, tire-pressure specifications, and industrial equipment in Europe, Japan, and Latin America, close to but not equal to one bar.

The bar

The bar equals exactly 100,000 pascals — close to but not equal to standard atmospheric pressure (1 atm = 1.01325 bar). It is the working unit for compressed-air systems, pneumatic tools, dive computers, and weather pressure outside North America.
