Since pressure is defined as force acting perpendicularly on a surface, P := d(F n)/ds (where n is the versor perpendicular to the element of surface ds), its unit is N/m2, also known as pascal: 1 Pa = 1 N / 1 m2
N/m^2 (N:Newton (unit of Force) that named Pascal is unit of pressure.
1Pa means that 1N load(force) as normally affect on 1 m^2 area.
other unit is bar , mmHg. atmosphere,......
dyne/cm cube MORE INFO: the previous answer is incorrect. It should have been:- dyne/ square cm. It is more COMMONLY measured in Pascal or KiloPascal (KPa) The pressure in a car tyre is usually measured in KPa. (CGS system) In some industries it is measured in Newton per square metre (N/m2) NOTE: the number 2 after the m should be up above the m, meaning 'squared', but my keyboard will not allow me to put the 2 where I wanted to . Hope you understand what I mean.

CGS has been replaced by SI in which the Pa is the standard unit, though the Bar (standard atmospheric pressure = 100kPa) is permissible for "ordinary" uses. In fact the EU's Pressure Equipment Regulations, in UK law at least, use the Bar to avoid unwieldy numbers.
That lack of superscript is annoying isn't it! A simple way round it is to type ^2 for the square symbol, as in N/m^2.
The unit used in most of the world for air pressure is the hectoPascal (hPa), numerically the same as (and replacing) millibars. This unit is not used especially frequently outside the world of meteorology, although the base unit, the Pascal, is.
C.G.S unit of pressure is dyne/cm3
pascal(pa)
No. A Newton is a unit of force, while pressure is force per unit area. The standard unit of pressure is a Pascal, which is also a derived SI unit.
psi. pressure per unit of square inches.
The SI unit for pressure is the Pascal.
According to the System of International Units (SI), a unit of pressure is measured in Pascals (Pa), which is equal to one newton per square meter (N/m2). It was given this name in 1971, before it was just known as N/m2.One unit of pressure is called an atmosphere (atm).
No, it is a unit of pressure.
Newtons / square meter. This unit has the special name Pascal.
Pressure does not have a scientific name as it is a physical quantity that measures force per unit area. In the SI system, pressure is measured in pascals (Pa).
That unit has the special name "pascal".
Unit of head pressure is psi.
No. A Newton is a unit of force, while pressure is force per unit area. The standard unit of pressure is a Pascal, which is also a derived SI unit.
Force over an area. Pounds per square inch. Kilopascals. mmHg.
No. A Newton is a unit of force, while pressure is force per unit area. The standard unit of pressure is a Pascal, which is also a derived SI unit.
The pascal (Pa) is the standard unit of pressure.
Pressure = force / area.
psi. pressure per unit of square inches.
The formula for pressure is: pressure= force divided by area The unit for pressure is: pascals (p) Enjoy:)
The unit used to represent electrical pressure is VOLTS.
