centibar

centibar
(cbar or cb)
   a metric unit of pressure identical with the kilopascal (kPa). One centibar equals 0.01 bar, 7.5006 torr, or 0.1450 pounds per square inch (lbf/in2 or psi). The centibar is traditionally used in agriculture as a unit of soil water tension (the water pressure on the roots of plants) as measured by devices called tensiometers.
