What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms pressure measurements from the non-SI unit atmosphere technical (at) to the commonly used bar unit. It helps translate legacy pressure data into a modern and broadly accepted form.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the pressure value in atmosphere technical [at]
-
Select the from-unit as atmosphere technical [at]
-
Choose the to-unit as bar
-
Click convert to get the equivalent pressure in bar
Key Features
-
Converts pressure values specifically from atmosphere technical [at] to bar
-
Reflects historical and contemporary unit relations based on defined conversion rates
-
Supports accurate understanding of older engineering and industrial pressure data
-
Useful for standardizing pressure units in technical documentation
Examples
-
2 atmosphere technical [at] equals 1.96133 bar
-
0.5 atmosphere technical [at] equals 0.4903325 bar
Common Use Cases
-
Translating historical pressure measurements in legacy engineering documents
-
Interpreting old pressure specifications in boilers, hydraulics, and pneumatic systems
-
Comparing legacy pressures with modern SI-based units for technical analysis
-
Standardizing pressures for industrial maintenance and retrofitting older equipment
Tips & Best Practices
-
Verify the context of pressure values to distinguish technical atmosphere from standard atmospheres
-
Use this conversion to align legacy data with current industrial and meteorological pressure units
-
Apply conversion results cautiously where precision is critical due to slight unit differences
-
Consult technical documentation for correct unit identification before converting
Limitations
-
The atmosphere technical [at] unit is outdated and non-SI, possibly leading to confusion
-
Conversion values are approximate because of slight discrepancies in pressure definitions
-
Care needed to avoid mixing technical atmosphere with the standard atmosphere (atm) unit
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the atmosphere technical [at] unit?
-
It is a non-SI pressure unit defined as one kilogram-force per square centimetre, equal to 98,066.5 pascals, used mainly in older technical and engineering contexts.
-
Why convert atmosphere technical [at] to bar?
-
Converting to bar helps standardize legacy pressure data into a commonly accepted unit widely used in industries, meteorology, and engineering.
-
Is the bar an SI unit?
-
No, the bar is not an SI base unit but is accepted for use with SI and widely used for measuring pressure in many fields.
Key Terminology
-
Atmosphere Technical [at]
-
A non-SI unit of pressure defined as one kilogram-force per square centimetre, used historically in engineering and industry.
-
Bar
-
A pressure unit equal to 100,000 pascals, widely used in engineering, meteorology, and industry, accepted for use with the SI.
-
Conversion Rate
-
The factor used to convert values from atmosphere technical [at] to bar, specifically 1 at = 0.980665 bar.
