What Is This Tool?
This tool converts pressure measurements from atmosphere technical (at), a legacy unit used in engineering, to attopascal (aPa), an SI derived unit suited for expressing extremely small pressures in scientific fields.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the pressure value in atmosphere technical [at]
-
Select the target unit as attopascal [aPa]
-
Click convert to obtain the corresponding attopascal value
-
Use the result for scientific or engineering analysis
Key Features
-
Converts pressure values from atmosphere technical to attopascal units accurately
-
Supports analysis of historical and modern scientific pressure data
-
Browser-based and easy to use without software installation
-
Offers quick translation between widely differing pressure scales
Examples
-
2 at converts to 1.96133 × 10^20 aPa
-
0.5 at converts to 4.903325 × 10^19 aPa
Common Use Cases
-
Interpreting legacy pressure measurements in engineering and industrial systems
-
Expressing extremely low pressures in astrophysics and space physics
-
Converting historical pressure values into ultra-small SI units for theoretical studies
-
Analyzing residual pressures in ultra-high vacuum and cryogenic experiments
Tips & Best Practices
-
Handle the large numeric conversion factor carefully to avoid errors
-
Use this conversion primarily for translating legacy data or ultra-small pressures
-
Verify unit labels to ensure correct interpretation of results
-
Apply the tool in scientific contexts requiring extremely precise pressure values
Limitations
-
The very large conversion number requires careful calculation management
-
Attopascal units are appropriate only for describing pressures far smaller than typical engineering ranges
-
Not suitable for everyday practical pressure measurements due to scale disparity
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the atmosphere technical (at) unit?
-
The atmosphere technical (at) is a non-SI pressure unit defined as one kilogram-force per square centimetre, equal to 98,066.5 pascals.
-
Why convert atmosphere technical to attopascal?
-
Converting from atmosphere technical to attopascal helps translate legacy engineering pressure values into extremely small SI units used for advanced scientific analysis.
-
In which fields is attopascal commonly used?
-
Attopascal is used to describe ultra-low pressures in astrophysics, space physics, ultra-high vacuum science, and other theoretical research.
Key Terminology
