The pièze ( unit symbol : pz; from old Gr . Πιέζειν piezein , 'press', 'press') was a pressure unit introduced in 1919 within the French MTS system :

${\displaystyle 1\ \mathrm {pz=1\ {\frac {sn}{m^{2}}}=1\,000\ {\frac {N}{m^{2}}}=1\,000\ Pa=0{,}01\ bar} }$

With

• ${\displaystyle \mathrm {sn} }$for standing
• ${\displaystyle \mathrm {N} }$for the Newton
• ${\displaystyle \mathrm {Pa} }$for the Pascal
• ${\displaystyle \mathrm {bar} }$for the bar .
