It's not clear to me where "bar" comes into this. I'm used to atmospheric pressure in millibars, and comfortable with bar for pressure, although many of the gauges I use are PSI.

During my career with the NAVY, we switched three times. At the beginning of the design process for a new class of ship, it would be declared this will be a metric ship. It would last until the admirals rotated, and the new one roared 'well how long is my ship in feet' and metric was gone again. > >
