My comment:

It is a a measurement unit (bar gauge) // the credit all belongs to Christoph G. Beeh / I gave you the link below

My references:

Under this link I found the answer below / http://www.proz.com/kudoz/german_to_english/tech_engineering/270936-%FC_what_unit_would_this_be.html

This is how I would render the abbreviation, as it is common practice in English.

"barg" stands for "bar gauge", and if you translate into American English, it is recommendable to give the value in psig, too.

"psig" stands for "PSI gauge".

My colleagues are mostly right with their answers, but you shouldn't use a full word if in the text it is only a abbreviated unit.

barg and psig are very common abbreviations, so any technically minded person understands it.
