What is atmosphere technical (at)?

Atmosphere technical (at) is a non-SI pressure unit equal to one kilogram-force per square centimetre, commonly used in historical engineering and industrial contexts.

How do I convert atmosphere technical to kilogram-force per square meter?

Multiply the atmosphere technical value by 10,000 to get the equivalent pressure in kilogram-force per square meter.

Are these units still used in modern engineering?

These units are largely replaced by SI units like pascals, but may still appear in legacy equipment specifications or older technical literature.

What Is This Tool?

This tool allows users to convert pressure measurements from the technical atmosphere (at) unit, a historic non-SI unit used in engineering, into kilogram-force per square meter (kgf/m²), another non-SI pressure unit. It helps interpret and compare legacy pressure data across different kgf-based units.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the pressure value in atmosphere technical (at)
Select atmosphere technical as the unit to convert from
Choose kilogram-force per square meter (kgf/m²) as the target unit
Click convert to get the equivalent value in kgf/m²
Use the result to compare or analyze legacy pressure data

Key Features

Converts between atmosphere technical (at) and kilogram-force/square meter (kgf/m²)
Supports legacy engineering and industrial pressure unit conversions
Browser-based and easy to use for quick calculations
Provides direct conversion using exact defined rate
Helps translate older standards for modern analysis

Examples

1 at equals 10,000 kgf/m²
0.5 at equals 5,000 kgf/m²

Common Use Cases

Interpreting historical engineering pressure units from older manuals
Converting boiler or hydraulic system pressure specifications in legacy documents
Translating regional or industrial standards based on kgf units to SI approximations
Comparing pressure values across different non-SI legacy units

Tips & Best Practices

Verify the original unit measures on legacy equipment or drawings before conversion
Use this tool to assist in analyzing historical pressure specifications accurately
Understand the non-SI nature of units and their approximate relationship to pascals
Cross-check pressure values after conversion when used for safety or engineering decisions

Limitations

Both atmosphere technical and kilogram-force/square meter are non-SI units
Accuracy depends on consistent use of gravitational constants
Units may be phased out in favor of standard SI pascals
Not suitable for modern precision measurements requiring SI units

Key Terminology

Atmosphere technical (at): A non-SI pressure unit defined as one kilogram-force per square centimetre, historically used in engineering to specify pressure.
Kilogram-force per square meter (kgf/m²): A non-SI unit measuring pressure by the force of one kilogram-force applied uniformly over one square meter.
Non-SI unit: Unit of measurement not part of the International System of Units, often used in legacy or specific regional contexts.

Quick Knowledge Check

What pressure does 1 atmosphere technical (at) correspond to in kilogram-force per square meter?

1,000 kgf/m²

10,000 kgf/m²

100 kgf/m²

Which unit is defined as force per square meter?

Atmosphere technical (at)

Kilogram-force per square meter (kgf/m²)

Pascals (Pa)

Why might these units be limited in modern use?

Due to non-SI status and reliance on gravitational constants

Because they are more precise than pascals

They are the preferred units in new engineering standards
