What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms pressure measurements from the technical atmosphere unit (at), historically used in industrial contexts, to inch water at 60°F (inAq), commonly applied in HVAC and low pressure assessments.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the pressure value in atmosphere technical (at)
-
Select atmosphere technical (at) as the input unit
-
Choose inch water (60°F) [inAq] as the output unit
-
Click convert to see the equivalent pressure value
Key Features
-
Converts technical atmosphere to inch water (60°F) pressure units
-
Supports legacy industrial pressure data interpretation
-
Browser-based and user-friendly interface
-
Ideal for HVAC, gas service, and cleanroom pressure conversions
Examples
-
2 atmosphere technical (at) converts to approximately 788.18 inch water (60°F)
-
0.5 atmosphere technical (at) converts to approximately 197.04 inch water (60°F)
Common Use Cases
-
Interpreting historical pressure data from boilers and hydraulic systems
-
Measuring duct and filter pressure drops in HVAC setups
-
Specifying low residential gas pressures for regulation
-
Operating manometers and sensors for ventilation control
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure pressure values are in atmosphere technical (at) before conversion
-
Verify the temperature context since inch water depends on water density at 60°F
-
Use this tool to reconcile legacy and modern pressure measurement units accurately
Limitations
-
Inch water unit accuracy depends on water temperature fixed at 60°F
-
Atmosphere technical is a non-SI unit and may require careful conversion when used with modern measurements
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the technical atmosphere (at) unit?
-
It is a non-SI pressure unit defined as one kilogram-force per square centimetre, equal to 98,066.5 pascals and approximately 0.96784 standard atmospheres.
-
Why is inch water measured at 60°F?
-
Because water density varies with temperature, inch water pressure is specified at 60°F to maintain consistency in pressure measurements.
-
When should I use this converter?
-
Use it to convert legacy industrial pressure values expressed in technical atmospheres to units suitable for low pressure measurements typical in HVAC and ventilation studies.
Key Terminology
-
Atmosphere Technical (at)
-
A legacy pressure unit defined as one kilogram-force per square centimetre, used historically in engineering and industrial contexts.
-
Inch Water (60°F) [inAq]
-
A pressure unit representing the pressure exerted by a one-inch column of water at 60°F, applied to measure small pressure differences.
